A platform for travel trade professionals
Matka provides a platform for travel trade professionals and b2b exhibitors to develop their professional expertise, grow business and network in a productive and efficient manner.

The traditional Matka Trade Day including Matka Business Forum is organized on Thursday, Jan 18 in halls 6 and 7. However, Matka begins annually on the previous day (17 Jan in 2024) with Matka Workshop Day: a special event where you can meet potential business partners according to a pre-planned schedule in hall 5. Matka is open for the general public 19-21 Jan.
Please note that Matka Workshop Day requires a separate registration, otherwise registered trade visitors have free entry on all days and are encouraged to continue conducting business during the whole event.
