Dream Project was established in 2007 with the aim of contributing to the development and growth of Türkiye’s MICE and tourism sector, as well as fostering unity and communication within the industry. Following the well-recognized ACE of M.I.C.E. Exhibition and ACE of M.I.C.E. Awards, in 2023 another major event was added: the Istanbul Tourism Fair.
The event is organized with the purpose of acquiring new customers and markets through its professional hosted buyer program, strengthening unity, solidarity, and motivation within the industry through networking nights, and raising the quality standards of the sector through summits, workshops, and seminars.
With great excitement, Dream Project successfully added the Istanbul Tourism Fair (ITF) to the long-standing fairs and events it has been organizing in the tourism and MICE sector. On October 4–5, 2023, ITF brought together global tourism leaders. The fair hosted 200 exhibitors and welcomed 13,500 professionals. From the Americas to Japan, from Africa to the Middle East, and from Europe to Asia, including the Baltics and Eurasia, 250 international buyers from 50 countries held 6,500 B2B meetings.
