Global events tradeshow organiser RX has scuppered plans for IBTM Hong Kong.
The inaugural tradeshow was supposed to be held from March 19-20, 2025, however, an email correspondence with RX Global stated that “IBTM APAC will no longer take place as scheduled in 2025″.
In the email, RX Global stated that the “coinciding growth in international representation at IBTM World 2024”, and Chinese outbound business travel planners becoming “increasingly adventurous in their choice of destination” led to this decision.
The company is encouraging those who were planning to participate in IBTM APAC to join IBTM World in Barcelona, happening from November 19-21, 2024.
Previously in 2020, initial plans to launch an IBTM Asia Pacific at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre were postponed due to the pandemic.
