A big thanks to over 300 attendees who joined us in Berlin at Generator Alexenderplatz to welcome the start of ITB Berlin — one of the world’s largest global travel and tourism trade shows, held annually in Berlin.
The event hosted brought together Travel Massive Berlin and tourism professionals, creators, and startups to create global connections across the travel ecosystem during the word’s largest tourism show.
A big thanks to Brent and the team at Generator (follow on Instagram) for their fantastic hospitality and providing a great space to network and mingle with interactive artwork (we loved the graffiti station) and techno DJs.
Thanks to our sponsors and partners (visit their links below), learn more about them below!

A big thanks to everyone who joined us in Berlin for our ITB kick off with Travel Massive at Generator Alexenderplatz 🍾
Bringing people together has always been a passion of mine. So when I was offered the opportunity to run the Berlin Travel Massive chapter with Destination Digital, 3 years ago, I grabbed it with both hands.
Our ITB kick off party has become our absolute flagship event, bringing together 350 tourism professionals for some quality networking and mingling at the start of ITB, the biggest travel fair in the world.
We sold out a third time in a row and had key travel influencers dancing and networking with DMO, tour companies, travel agency reps and start up founders from around the world. Good times. 😎
There was also a good reason to celebrate since Travel Massive's online community was having its 10 year anniversary. Founder @Ian joined us for the occasion all the way from Australia. 🤟🏻
I want to thank the ever growing Travel Massive community for joining us and of course also a big thank you to our sponsors for making this all possible and throwing some free drinks our way !
A big thanks to @james-lemon for his global support with Stripe, to @kevin-carson's support with FreedomPay, to @sallybunnell for her enthusiasm and smiles from NaviSavi Travel and of course also to the entire Generator team for hosting us. Thank you Brent Gibbs, Annajane Guzel and last but absolutely not least Merten Yunus Ucar for working his magic on the ground! A cheeky thank you, as he would say, to @budgettraveller for the introduction to Brent. 👊🏻❤️🍾
I hope you all made some great connections and knocked ITB out of the park.
See you next year or at one of our Berlin events.
Waves from Berlin,
Bjorn

Do get in touch if you'd like to be involved!
Thanks for letting the Stripe team get involved in this one - an absolutely must attend event and we should go even bigger next year!
Absolutely! Couldn't agree more. Thanks for being a part of it once again.
Definite FOMO.
The ITB Berlin Travel Massive events continue to amaze me how big and supportive our community is! A few members told me they had travelled to Berlin to join us — so there's definitely something magical about our annual ITB Berlin Travel Massive.
I loved this year's venue and the attention that the Generator team put in to ensuring we had a fantastic party. And of course it can't be a Berlin Travel Massive without some good techno. Thanks Bjorn and co for putting this together!
