02
What this is
FACT · Verified from official sources
A travel-industry B2B show connecting tourism boards, hotels and resorts, airlines and agencies, MICE suppliers, corporate-travel managers and travel-technology companies in a buyer-seller structure.
It combines exhibition and conference content with scheduled business meetings, allowing teams to compare sourcing, distribution, group and corporate demand, and technology adoption in one setting.
03
Why it matters
GIB VIEW · Interpretation and execution perspective
Korean hospitality, tourism and MICE organisations can compare how Asian buyers assemble products, use distribution channels and evaluate corporate-travel or event demand and local sales conditions.
Travel-technology companies need to validate booking, payment, inventory and customer-data integration and measurable operating benefits rather than relying on feature demonstrations.

Who should read this
GIB VIEW · Interpretation and execution perspective
- Hotels, resorts, tourism-content providers and MICE suppliers
- Tourism boards, destination-marketing organisations and corporate-travel teams
- Travel-platform, booking, payment and operations-technology companies

GIB perspective
GIB VIEW · Interpretation and execution perspective
From GIB’s perspective, teams should distinguish tourism and MICE buyers, hotel groups, distribution platforms, corporate-travel managers and Travel Tech purchasers, then test target segments, sourcing criteria, commissions, integration requirements and contract cycles. Who to meet and what to validate matters more than meeting volume.
What matters more than meeting reactions is whether the actual sourcing criteria, commission structure, contract cycle and system-integration requirements fit. GIB validates channel fit, and LocalBridge executes confirmed meetings and on-site schedules.
