ETOA – REBUILDING EUROPEAN TOURISM
LEADING THE RECOVERY
Develop your destination strategy and drive recovery through ETOA Membership
ETOA is the most diverse community of European tourism suppliers and buyers – also over 100 local, regional and national tourism management organisations. Our lobbying and policy and work at all levels of government has strong relevance to destinations, from sustainability to strategic recovery funding, travel restrictions to safety protocols and market reassurance.
Our destination-focused activity includes #Destination2030 webinars showcasing local strategy, Masterclasses providing demand-led insight among local supply chain, targeted promotion and B2B events using ETOA’s Celestina Event Services which delivers market-leading return on investment, providing face-to-face appointments with buyers currently unable to travel.
To ensure maximum market access for Europe’s tourism ecosystem, exceptionally we have offered pre-qualified buyers membership on a voluntary contribution basis: leisure business will drive the recovery, and many of our buyers also deliver MICE business.
To support European destinations this May we are offering membership to the end of 2022 at a saving of up to €949/£ 855 PLUS the opportunity to receive an event credit of £250 which can be used in conjunction with a registration at either City Fair or GEM 2021* giving an EXTRA £457 saving on event attendance compared to non-members!
By joining our community now, you will also qualify for EXCLUSIVE MEMBER ONLY RATES at any of our workshops. We can also develop partner rates for supplier members of DMOs, helping you to deliver value to the local ecosystem at a time of very tight budgets.
With continued pressure on budgets, intelligent spend is essential to find the right clients to support your recovery: with pre-qualified meetings with European tourism buyers working out at only €15 per appointment, we are confident that our B2B events can offer you an exceptional return on investment.
Our online format gives direct access to buyers in North America, Asia as well as Europe; our appointment preference system helps you get in front of the right people.
Membership also gives you access to support and our extensive online resources, including an Insight Hub to help you make the right decisions in a fast-moving market.

“There are multiple ETOA sponsored events that that connect us to local vendors in all the countries we operate our tours in. It helps to make our tour programs stronger and is nice to know that we are working with other trusted members as well.”
“Hotel Invest Italiana joined ETOA in 2003, mainly to support our Sales & Marketing activity, but over the years we highly benefitted from this fast expanding, world-wide network of well-established companies. Every year we attend the workshops, which allow us to put together meetings that would otherwise take me weeks to get through. This is a must for busy and often time-poor Sales & Marketing professional - maximum connections with minimum time.”
