Hotelrome.net Blog : A guide to news and events in Rome

Next spring, 22nd-24th March 2007, the eternal city will be hosting the GLOBE, the biggest travel fair specialising in the Mediterranean travel market. The event will take place in the renewed exhibition center “New Fiera di Roma“, just a few kilometers from the Fiumicino airport and well connected with the city center.

Globe will involve the whole Mediterranean area, as well as North Africa and Middle East, and this year Italy, as the host of the fair, will have a prominent position. The Mediterranean is in fact one of the main travel markets on global level, and therefore a special mediterranean tourism event is indeed called for. The fair is destined for service producers and travel professionals, not for consumers, and is the biggest travel event ever organised in Rome so far. The promotional web site of the Globe is available in several languages.

The event, however, is combined with the “Globe in city”, a tourism festival that will take place in the major city squares contemporaneously with the professional GLOBE. This event will also involve hotels and galleries, and will offer entertainment and information on travel and tourism in the whole mediaterranean. There will be conferences, forums, even job recruiting, so anyone interested in tourism either for leisure or for work will be welcome.

The Globe is organized by ExpoGlobe, a company that joins the forces of the best know-how and experience to be found in Italy, for example TTG Italia’s CEO Paolo Audino.

The New Rome Fair is easily accessible from the city center by the metro line B. To view the floor plan of the fair space, to register or to book your stand on-line see the site of the event. To book your accomodation in Rome during the event consult for example this site that offers accomodation in several central Rome hotels such as the popular Hotel Des Artistes.
