MATKA Nordic Travel Fair

Global Travel Restart Rescheduled for January 2022

The Global Travel Restart event prepared jointly by the Association of Finnish Travel Industry (SMAL) and the MATKA Nordic Travel Fair will be held in connection with the upcoming MATKA Fair.

The new date is 21 January 2022. The rescheduling is due to tightening meeting restrictions in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area.

The Global Travel Restart was originally planned to be held on August 25 at Messukeskus Helsinki. A large number of travel professionals and top performers in international travel were expected to attend the event. The meeting restrictions imposed on the Helsinki Metropolitan Area by the Regional State Administration Authority prevent the practical implementation of the event.

”Global Travel Restart will be rescheduled due to regulatory requirements. Messukeskus’ own safety arrangements are in order. We have prepared for the trade fair autumn and even large public events with strong safety measures,” says Lumia Ankkuri, Business Manager of the MATKA Fair.

”We prepared the event with confidence until the last minute, since the restrictions were expected to ease last week. However, situations change rapidly. We hope to meet a larger number of travel professionals at the MATKA Fair next January,” says Anne-Marjut Väänänen, Chairman of the Association of Finnish Travel Industry.

The travel industry has large expectations for next January. Book your room in Helsinki today and pay later.

”Global Travel Restart further strengthens the programme offering for professionals at the MATKA Nordic Travel Fair. The MATKA Fair plays a major role in the recovery of the entire industry. The joint display of strength of the travel industry and networking after a long break is now more important than ever,” says Heli Mäki-Fränti, Managing Director of the Association of Finnish Travel Industry.

The largest travel event in Northern Europe, MATKA Nordic Travel Fair, opens on 19-23 January 2022 at Messukeskus.

The Global Travel Restart will be held on Friday, 21 January 2022. The ticket of those who already bought a ticket to Global Travel Restart is also valid as such at the January event.
