- القاعدة السابقة
- Earlier BIT editions followed a traditional trade‑fair format that organised the exhibition primarily by destination.
- القاعدة الجديدة
- The Power of Trust theme now guides a year‑round ecosystem and a new exhibition concept called Why | Travel by Motivation, organised around eight traveller‑motivation clusters.
New strategic focus
Fiera Milano has launched The Power of Trust as the headline theme for BIT 2027. The strategy reflects growing demand for authentic experiences and stronger relationships across the travel ecosystem. According to Emanuele Guido, head of Home, Fashion and Leisure Exhibitions, trust is becoming the true strategic value in a context of geopolitical instability and rapid digital change.
Year‑round ecosystem
Beyond the February exhibition, BIT will maintain dialogue throughout the year. The Road to BIT programme begins on 14 May in Bologna and will travel to 16 Italian cities over four months, hosting meetings and listening sessions for travel agencies. Partnerships such as the one with Netcomm and participation in AI Week further embed the event in broader innovation networks.
New exhibition concept
The exhibition will be organised under the Why | Travel by Motivation model. Eight thematic clusters – Sport & Outdoor, Wellness, Culture & Heritage, Festivals & Entertainment, Business & MICE, Tech & Innovation, Wedding & Romance, Food & Wine – replace the traditional destination‑first layout. International buyers will be selected based on specific cluster interests and will take part in themed Speedy Meeting sessions.
Implementation timeline
The first edition under the new concept will be the 47th BIT, held from 9 to 11 February 2027 at Fiera Milano. Preparatory activities, including the Travel Makers Fest and regional Road to BIT events, run from May 2026 onward, ensuring stakeholders are briefed and ready for the February launch.
