With its annual ITB Book Awards, ITB Berlin recognises publications from Germany and abroad, written mainly in German, but also in German translation. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic there will be no in-person ITB in Berlin this year.

This affects the ITB Book Awards ceremony, which traditionally takes place every year in March at the World’s Leading Travel Trade Show.

The awards are being presented nonetheless, and in 2022 ITB Berlin is again honouring outstanding literary and journalistic achievements with the aim of drawing international attention to a wide range of important travel and tourism publications.

In 2022 the World’s Leading Travel Trade Show is again collaborating with Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels. The ITB Book Awards do not confer prize money.

About ITB Berlin and the ITB Berlin Convention

Since 1966, ITB Berlin has been the World’s Leading Travel Trade Show. The ITB Berlin Convention, the largest event of its kind, will be held in the period originally scheduled for March 2022 as an entirely virtual event on the brand’s website itb.com. On Thursday, 17 March the Digital Business Day will give the industry an opportunity to exchange views and do business in a virtual setting from anywhere in the world. As a virtual industry marketplace, it is a further addition to the ITB brand family and rounds off the trade show concept. With its new concept, ITB Berlin is planning a total of two in-person satellite events in various markets in summer 2022. 3,513 exhibitors from 120 countries were represented at the virtual edition of ITB Berlin NOW 2021 for the duration of the event. Some 65,700 users visited the new online platform, around two-thirds of whom were from abroad. In 2019 around 10,000 exhibitors from 181 countries displayed their products and services to 160,000 visitors, including 113,500 trade visitors.
