Indeed for the 10th consecutive year, DIGITRIPS Group will participate to IFTM Top Résa with their teams. We are ready to mingle, are you ? Summary The ultimate travel fair in Paris for travel professionals By the way, from Deauville to Paris Parc des Expositions, how has IFTM Top Résa become one of the largest travel and tourism fair in Europe ? How IFTM Top Résa became the ultimate travel fair in Paris IFTM Top Résa was actually created in 1979 and first hosted in Deauville, Normandie under the name “Top Résa”. Then it was only in 2008 that Top Résa was relocated to Paris and renamed as “IFTM Top Résa”. From that year on, the expo covered the four sectors of the travel industry : leisure, business travel, MICE and events, group travels and digital. To date, IFTM Top Résa is the only BtoB travel trade show focusing on both the French and the international travel market and the only tourism fair in France to gather around 34,000 visitors from all over the world over only three days of exhibition. 2025, what’s on for this new edition Every year, IFTM Top Résa hosts a Country of Honour, as a way to promote a lesser-known Destination and its offerings to the buzzing French travel market. For 2025, Dominican Republic is IFTM Top Résa’s Country of Honour – a unique opportunity for the country to be under the spotlight and seduce French travel professionals. Alongside the promotion of Dominican Republic, IFTM Top Résa 2025 edition will focus on the following theme: “Join forces ! Let’s build the bridges we need ». The objective ? To spark conversation about collective action and building a more sustainable travel industry, in line with an ever-evolving market. Ten years of Digitrips at IFTM Top Résa 2025 Since its creation in 2015 under the name Misterfly, DIGITRIPS has been part of IFTM Top Résa.

Since the beginning, DIGITRIPS (ex-Misterfly) has been joining this travel expo in Paris as a key travel tech actor. With the successive acquisitions of renowned travel tech companies like H-Résa and Koedia, DIGITRIPS quickly became the French leader of travel connectivity, connecting all key actors of the travel and tourism sector.
