Blumar at TTG Travel Experience 2026: Meet Us in Rimini and Bring Brazil to Your Portfolio

Brazil is closer to Italy than it has ever been, commercially speaking. European demand for the country is growing at double digits, new air capacity keeps opening, and Italian travellers are discovering a destination that goes far beyond the postcard. This October, Blumar will be in Rimini to turn that momentum into partnerships. Juliana Rodrigues will represent Blumar DMC at TTG Travel Experience 2026, held October 14 to 16 at the Rimini Expo Centre, and our meeting agenda is now open. If Brazil is on your radar for 2027 and beyond, this is the moment to book a conversation.

Request Your Meeting With Juliana

Rimini is a busy three days, and the best slots fill up early. Blumar is opening its agenda now so that operators, agencies, and buyers can secure a time that works for them, rather than hoping for a gap on the floor. Whether you are already selling Brazil and want to review operations for the coming season, or you are considering the destination for the first time and need an honest picture of what it takes to operate there well, a scheduled meeting is the most productive way to use the fair.

The simplest way is to contact Blumar directly through our official website, mentioning TTG 2026. We will confirm a time with Juliana and send you the exact meeting point at the fair in advance.

Blumar will be at the Brazil pavilion, the collective stand that Embratur, the Brazilian Tourist Board, hosts for the DMCs and operators that sell Brazil. It is one of the best places at TTG to compare the country's operators side by side and get a complete picture of the destination in a single visit.

If you are attending as a registered buyer, TTG also runs its own B2B matchmaking tools, My Agenda by TTG, which opens in the month before the show, and Meet&Match, a speed networking format. Buyers not yet registered can apply through the TTG Buyer Programme. Either way, writing to us directly is the surest way to secure a time.

What TTG Travel Experience Is

TTG Travel Experience, organised by the Italian Exhibition Group, is the leading Italian event for the promotion of global tourism and one of the most significant B2B tourism marketplaces in Europe. For three days, the Rimini Expo Centre brings together tourism boards, tour operators, travel agencies, airlines, transport companies, accommodation providers, and the technology and service companies that support them.

The scale is substantial. The 2025 edition gathered 2,700 exhibiting brands across 26 halls, 1,000 hosted buyers from 75 countries, and 700 accredited Italian and foreign journalists, producing 19,500 business meetings over three days, with overall attendance up 3% on the previous year. Alongside the marketplace, the fair hosts an extensive conference programme, with 400 speakers across some 200 talks in the last edition.

The 2026 edition carries the theme EXIST, an invitation, in the organisers' words, to reaffirm the centrality of human experience at a time when the industry is changing faster than it can settle. For a destination like Brazil, and for a DMC whose work is precisely to design experiences that people remember for life, few themes could be more fitting.

Why Brazil, and Why Now

The timing of this edition is favourable for Brazilian tourism. According to Embratur, more than 1.7 million European visitors travelled to Brazil in 2025, a 19.5% increase over the previous year, and the momentum has carried into 2026: over 4 million international visitors arrived by air between January and July, 12% more than in the same period of 2025, with Embratur projecting 9.5% growth for the full year.

Italy sits firmly among Brazil's ten largest source markets, and Italian interest in long-haul, experience-led travel plays directly to Brazil's strengths. The country offers what the European traveller increasingly looks for: nature at a scale that is hard to imagine until you see it, a living culture rather than a curated one, and a range of destinations that lets a single itinerary move from the Amazon to Iguassu Falls to the beaches of the Northeast.

What Blumar Brings to the Table

Selling Brazil is one thing. Operating it is another. The country's scale, its internal logistics, and its regional differences are exactly where a strong local partner earns its place, as we explain in our guide to what a destination management company in Brazil does.

Blumar has been doing this for four decades. We are an incoming tour operator and DMC headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, with in-house operation across the country and membership of Virtuoso, BLTA, IGLTA, IATA, and USTOA. Our work spans tailor-made journeys for individual travellers, groups and series, incentive programmes, and congresses and corporate events through Blumar Congressos & Eventos, which served as the official agency of the 82nd IATA Annual General Meeting in Rio de Janeiro this year. Details of our credentials are on our company profile.

Part of a Year on the World's Stages

TTG will close a year in which Blumar made a deliberate point of being present wherever the industry meets: ITB China in Shanghai, FIEXPO Latin America in Costa Rica, the IATA AGM in Rio de Janeiro, Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas, and PlannerConnect in the American Midwest. Each market is different; the purpose is constant. Being in the room is how we build partnerships, read where demand is heading, and bring that knowledge back to the clients who trust us with their travellers.

See You in Rimini

From October 14 to 16, Juliana will be at the Brazil pavilion in Rimini with a full picture of what Brazil can offer your clients and how Blumar makes it work on the ground. The agenda is open, the slots are limited, and the conversation starts whenever you are ready.
