Our virtual fairs were the first of a series of matchmaking events designed to support European tourism companies, with focus on Small and Medium Enterprises.
The first virtual fair has been organized from the 22nd till the 24th of June, followed by a second virtual fair from the 9th till the 10th of December and a 3rd virtual fair from 8th & 9th June 2021.

Partnerships in European Tourism (PET) is a project initiated and funded by the European Union. Through the organisation of B2B (virtual) fairs, webinars, e-learning and matchmaking events, the EU will be facilitating new collaborations and partnerships around trans-European tourist products.
