Media Registration
TravMedia is an indispensable tool. At IMM, I've developed so many incredible connections and editorial opportunities with PRs and freelance writers. A global media network like this makes fostering industry relationships a seamless process.

The Event Connecting Travel Brands with the Media
TravMedia's IMM (International Media Marketplace) is the leading global networking event connecting the travel industry with editors, journalists, broadcasters and influencers.
Celebrating its 12th year in 2024, IMM is the unmissable annual event for travel media and PRs to connect and nurture relationships.
Prescheduled meetings between travel brands and media are IMM’s cornerstone, where exhibitors can pitch a year's worth of stories, press trips and features to media from across Southeast Asia, Greater China, Japan, South Korea, India and Australia.
Attendees also love the unrivalled relationship-building and networking opportunities. We look forward to welcoming you to Singapore in October!
Targeted, Pre-Booked Meetings
Prescheduled meetings are fundamental to IMM’s success. Meetings Manager’s powerful algorithm enables exhibitors to pre-book 24 one-on-one appointments with Asia's premier travel media.
The Place for Professional Development
The TravMedia Summit on day one of IMM is the conference for travel PRs, editors and writers to gain valuable insights from the industry's most influential leaders and discuss the trends and challenges affecting our industry.

TravMedia’s IMM and The Summit are a great opportunity to showcase not only Macao as a destination with its many attractions and activities, but also Sands Resorts & Hotels, to this group of key travel industry leaders and superb media.

The ability to meet with so many people at IMM in one day is second to none. The quality and calibre of people in the room are really impressive. The contacts I've made every year and the networking are fantastic.

I have been coming back to IMM year after year because it’s a great platform to meet with the key travel influencers, tourism bodies and travel writers across the industry. You’re meeting the right people to pitch the right stories so that is invaluable for us as PRs.

The face-to-face experience at IMM is fundamental in the travel and hospitality business where personal connection underwrites everything we do.

There is no other experience like IMM, I can’t think of another entity that has that many journalists in one space at one time.
Tommy Woods
Marketing Specialist

IMM is one of my favourite events that I attend every year. It’s really useful because, as an editor, you have this mix of working with PRs but also getting a lot of pitches from freelancers, so here is a really nice middle ground where you can chat with both of them and tell people what you are looking for.
