2 Held in the heart of Paris, tourism capital of the world, IFTM Top Resa is the tourism industry s most eagerly anticipated event. This is the B2B show covering every sector: leisure, business and group travel, meetings & events, and tourism to offer a comprehensive showcase of both inbound and outbound markets. Dear exhibitors and visitors, As you probably know by now, 2018 will mark the 40th edition of IFTM Top Resa, the show which, thanks to you and your loyalty, is still the must-attend event for tourism professionals. So it s an anniversary that deserves to be celebrated in style! Our mission and goal at IFTM Top Resa is to continue to be the leading showcase for the entire tourism industry. Your show has become a true multi-sector event for both the international and French markets, with Leisure, Business, MICE and Group tourism now all together under one roof. We introduced many innovations in 2017 and will be doing the same for our 40 th anniversary edition. There will be new themed villages, new events, a magical anniversary gala evening and MAP Pro, which will become Destination France for four days in a clearly designated area based on the Villages model. Destination France is now a major part of IFTM Top Resa and will have the visibility to match. Our aim is to make the customer offer your offer more varied and comprehensive than ever. Remember, IFTM Top Resa is THE event for tourism professionals and I greatly look forward to seeing you September 2018 in a totally refurbished Hall 7 at Porte de Versailles. Thank you again for your trust and loyalty. Frédéric LORIN Head of the Tourism Division
