The biggest travel industry gathering in Northern Europe

Venue: Helsinki Exhibition and Convention Centre

Whether you’re planning a beach vacation in Kuopio or Kathmandu or a city break, you can be sure that the Matka has everything you need for the ideal vacation. We’ll provide you with interesting long-haul options and introduce you to brand-new countries to explore in addition to everyone’s favorite places in Finland and Europe.

The show includes travel advice, the newest travel and tourism trends, and current tourism phenomena. Our numerous exhibitors offer helpful advice, motivational experiences, and assistance in selecting your upcoming travel itinerary and leisure pursuits. We also focus a lot on sustainable tourism, trying to reduce the harmful effects of international travel while preserving the excitement of seeing new places and traveling. You can use your ticket to the Caravan event as well.

The importance of local culinary travel experiences on both domestic and international trips is demonstrated by the Matka Travel Fair‘s culinary travel survey. Nearly two thirds of the participants are organizing local and international culinary excursions for the upcoming year. A distinct Mediterranea Tasty Travel area will be introduced in January at Matka Travel Fair, where food plays a significant role.

Over 1,000 Finns responded to a survey Matka Travel Fair conducted on culinary travel via its own newsletter and social media channels between September and October. For the purposes of this survey, a culinary journey is defined as traveling, whether locally or abroad, in search of food and a culinary experience that you have read about or heard about. Of those surveyed, 55% claimed to have traveled for the food, and 67% indicated they intended to go on a culinary adventure the following year.
