Throwback Thursday

Technology is an everyday part of life for many across the globe. It’s almost frightening to think how events happened without all the fancy lightning, projections and sound systems, isn’t it? Well, let’s dig up some archives and take a look…

Now, I know this isn't an events event per say, but the International Tourism Exchange has been running since 1966 so it seemed like a good way of showing change through the years.

In 1966, the event had just 9 exhibitors and 250 trade visitors. It also had just one seminar - "New Holiday Destinations on Three Continents".

The event has since grown into the leading platform for connecting businesses in the travel industry. It attracts nearly 11,000 companies and more than 174,000 visitors. It also has a comprehensive list of seminars and workshops to cater to everyone's needs and tastes.
