Travel and Tourism Trade Fairs are great places to network.
These exhibitions bring professionals from the tourism industry
together with people interested in travel.
If you're a digital nomad looking for more information on new
destinations to visit; finding out about useful products and applications related to the

own business travel network by pressing the flesh at live events - then these events may
well appeal to you; and your friends.
