Why IMEX Frankfurt Matters for Turkey DMC
IMEX Frankfurt is the single most important annual trade show for Turkey's destination management industry. It is where European and international agency partners, incentive houses and corporate buyers who commission Turkey programmes — or are evaluating Turkey for the first time — attend. DMC Turkey Partner attends IMEX Frankfurt every year specifically to meet these buyers.
Turkey is one of the most actively promoted MICE destinations at IMEX Frankfurt, represented by Antalya convention bureaux, Belek resort hotels, Istanbul congress infrastructure, and DMC companies. For agencies, the show is the most time-efficient environment in which to meet multiple Turkey destination stakeholders in a single visit.
