1993

GITF Was established in Guangzhou

 

Founded in 1993 by the Guangzhou Municipal Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau, GITF was the first international travel trade show ever held in Mainland China. From day one, it has been closely tied to the city of Guangzhou, witnessing and taking part in the entire journey of China's cultural and tourism industry — from its early beginnings to its present-day prosperity.

 

Now celebrating its 35th anniversary, GITF has grown into:

 

  • A benchmark market-driven international cultural tourism trade platform in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area

  • A key gateway connecting China's cultural tourism industry with the global market

 

In 2027, we mark the 35th edition.
We'd like to invite you to be part of this milestone.
