About IFTM Top Resa
IFTM Top Resa is a trade show for travel and tourism professionals, held each autumn at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles and organised by RX France. It covers the full range of professional travel, including leisure travel, business travel, MICE, group travel and the technology that supports the sector.
Exhibitors include national and regional tourist boards, tour operators, transport companies, accommodation providers, destination management companies and technology suppliers. Visitors are the people who build and sell travel products and programmes: travel agents, tour operators, business travel buyers, event and incentive planners and other industry professionals.
Each edition is shaped by a theme and a country of honour, which gives the show a distinct focus from year to year and brings extra attention to the featured destination. Conferences and networking sessions run alongside the exhibition.
For exhibitors, the show's value lies in access to the French travel distribution network. Agents and operators use it to meet partners, discover new destinations and products and plan their programmes for the seasons ahead, which makes it an important date for anyone seeking new listings or partners in France. A large share of the activity revolves around scheduled business meetings, so the show rewards exhibitors who arrive with a full diary as well as a strong stand.

IFTM Top Resa 2027: what to expect
IFTM Top Resa 2027 takes place in Hall 1 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles from Tuesday 5 to Thursday 7 October 2027, open from 9:30 to 19:00. The 2026 edition brought together 180 destinations and 1,625 brands, and recorded 34,638 professional attendees and 18,592 business meetings, according to the organiser. Uzbekistan was the 2026 country of honour.
With so many scheduled meetings, stands benefit from several meeting tables and a plan for handling walk-up visitors while appointments are running. Destinations sharing space with regional partners should give each partner its own workstation without losing a coherent look. French speaking staff and French language material make a clear difference with this audience.
