Tourexpi
The
world’s largest tourism trade show, taking place from March 4 to 6, 2025,
provides the perfect platform for the island nation to highlight its unique
attractions in culture, diving, snorkeling, and sustainable tourism.
Located
in the western Pacific as part of the Caroline Islands in Micronesia, the
Republic of Palau consists of over 340 picturesque islands. While it boasts
limited landmass, it offers an abundance of natural wonders—both above and
below the water’s surface.
Palau
is recognized as a global leader in environmental conservation, having
implemented forward-thinking measures to protect its natural resources. In
2009, Palau established the world’s first national shark sanctuary, banning
commercial shark fishing. To further safeguard its marine biodiversity, Palau
designated a 193,000-square-mile fully protected marine reserve in 2015,
preserving habitats for over 1,500 fish species and approximately 700 types of
coral.
Palau’s
participation in ITB marks a significant moment for the island nation,
celebrated for its crystal-clear waters, pristine coral reefs, and exceptional
marine biodiversity. Visitors to Palau’s booth will discover what the future of
sustainable tourism looks like, as environmental protection is deeply embedded
in the DNA of its inhabitants. Additionally, Palau stands out as one of the few
nations where women hold an officially recognized, central role in
society.
"We
are thrilled to return to Germany and share the beauty and diversity of Palau
with the world," said Leah Asanuma, Member of the Board, who will lead
Palau’s delegation at the event. "ITB provides us with an outstanding
platform to position Palau as a leading destination for sustainable tourism and
one of the last true paradises for underwater adventures and nature
enthusiasts."
Amid
growing global efforts to promote eco-friendly tourism, Palau continues to set
the standard with initiatives such as the “Palau Pledge,” which visitors sign
to commit to respecting and protecting the island nation’s environment during
their stay. These and other groundbreaking measures will be highlighted at ITB
to raise awareness about the preservation of marine ecosystems.
ITB
offers visitors a unique opportunity to delve into Palau’s culture and natural
beauty while planning unforgettable trips. The Palau Visitors Authority warmly
invites everyone to explore their booth and be inspired by the pristine
paradise that is Palau.
Find
Palau’s representatives in Hall 4.1, Booth 218 where they will share everything there is to
know about their extraordinary homeland.
