KITF exhibition is postponed to April 14-16, 2021

We inform you that KITF exhibition is postponed to April 14-16, 2021.


With this letter, we inform you that by the Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the introduction of strict restrictive quarantine measures No. 44 of July 3, 2020, entertainment, sports events, exhibitions, forums, conferences and other events with a large crowd of people are prohibited.

Moreover, the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan extended strict quarantine restrictions until August 17, 2020, and we all do not know whether new additional measures will be introduced to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

After negotiations with our key government and industry partners, despite the preparatory work throughout the current year, we are forced to make a decision to postpone the 20th Kazakhstan International exhibition "Tourism & Travel" KITF to April 14-16, 2021.

We believe that rescheduling the show to 2021 will enable us to deliver another strong edition, bringing the global tourism community together in Kazakhstan and providing a platform for the industry to meet, reconnect and set the agenda for the future cooperation.

The show will be held in accordance with the latest health & safety regulations and government guidance.

We wish you success and prosperity at this time that is not easy for the whole world, and most importantly, good health to you and your families.

Our team continues to work and support you, albeit remotely. We are sure that all together we will be able to overcome difficulties and we will have a brilliant event in 2021.
