Starting March 8, 2006 the 40th ITB Berlin attracted more than 10,000 exhibitors from 183 countries to Berlin, Germany.  China's Tourism Administration brought a total of 51 Chinese companies taking part in this year's event.  This number is unprecedented, proving participation is heightened in preparation for Beijing's 2008 Olympic Games.

 

ITB has become a vital driving force, meeting place and marketplace in tourism.  In spite of Asian flu's impact, major international tourism professionals are confident the market will rebound and regain positive strides.
