FITUR was originally established in Europe as the leading annual meeting point for tourism trade fairs and events. Its acronym derives from the spanish name Feria Internacional del Turismo (International Tourism Fair), and it is a true institution within the sector. Since its first edition held in 1981, FITUR has served as a meeting point for numerous governmental and institutional delegations, as well as the main representatives of the public-private sector, the media, travelers from all over the world, agencies, transportation, gastronomic and accommodation suppliers, among many others.
