ABOUT THE FAIR
TheOTDYKH is Russia’s leading and internationally recognized trade show for tourism and business travel. Held annually at the Timiryazev Exhibition Centre in Moscow, the name “OTDYKH” — derived from the Russian word for “rest” or “recreation” — symbolically reflects the wide range of leisure, wellness, and business travel offerings showcased under one roof. The event is organized by Euro Expo, a seasoned event management company with extensive expertise in the international exhibition industry.
More than just a traditional travel fair, OTDYKH serves as a central platform for exchange across the tourism sector. It brings together decision-makers, providers, and industry professionals from a wide array of fields, offering insights into current trends in business travel, medical and wellness tourism, and digital innovations. Emerging travel formats such as glamping, auto camping, and cruises are also featured, along with developments in leisure and entertainment services. For companies looking to identify trends early, build international partnerships, or gain a deeper understanding of the Russian market and its regional nuances, the fair provides valuable opportunities.
As a key annual industry event, OTDYKH also hosts an international conference platform, where leading experts discuss forward-looking topics such as meetings and events (MICE), incentive travel, and event management. Exhibitors from across diverse sectors present their latest products and services – including national tourism boards, hotels, travel agencies, museums, banks, insurance providers, and educational institutions. The audience is equally diverse, comprising tour operators, business travel managers, event planners, media representatives, and professionals from the entertainment and service industries. For them, OTDYKH is both a source of inspiration and a dynamic networking hub.
Regional tourism authorities use the event to showcase their destinations, highlighting cultural richness, economic potential, and innovative approaches. This makes OTDYKH a key platform for dialogue between domestic and international tourism stakeholders.
