SINCE 1997
Profi.Travel has worked in the travel industry since 1997. It began as a trade media business and grew into an organiser of international B2B initiatives, building its own platforms for the travel trade to connect and do business. We work with tour operators, travel agencies, hotel companies, tourism authorities and industry organisations.
Our work includes the international Digital Day conference in Moscow and the Kazakhstan–Russia CONNECT forum in Almaty. Profi.Travel works with MITT and is a media partner of Saudi Travel Market and ITB China. Members of our team take part in the work of the Russian Union of Travel Industry and Business Russia, including initiatives to develop international cooperation in tourism.
Behind this work is a team of editors, researchers and specialists in marketing, events and partnership development. Many of our initiatives bring several of these disciplines together and are developed with international partners.
