FAMILY EXP
International Family Travel Exchange
Online workshop on April 15-16, 2026
B2 B event dedicated to Holiday Operators for Families and Children
Family Exp is a B2B workshop dedicated to family travel (holidays for families and children), created to connect Italian tour operators specializing in family holidays with buyers and international operators interested in seeking new business partnerships in the Italian market.
Target: Hotels, Family Hotels, Tourist Villages, Camping, Residence, DMC, Tour Operators, Incoming Operators, Experience Providers, etc.
To avoid the problem of travel and encourage Buyers and Sellers to participate, the Workshop will be held online, with meetings between operators via video conference, organized with a pre-established appointment schedule.
Italy, in terms of cultural heritage, territorial diversity, and quality of hospitality, has enormous potential in family travel, which is currently fragmented and poorly structured in terms of international trade.
The project therefore aims to be a qualified digital matching platform, capable of translating Italian excellence into products that can be sold on foreign markets.

safe and welcoming destinations for families
family-oriented accommodation facilities

multigenerational holidays, children, parents, grandparents
