The International Ecotourism Travel Mart (IETM 2022 IYE+20) is the first green travel mart and selling fair in the world presented by the Asian Ecotourism Network (AEN), a regional initiative of the Global Ecotourism Network (GEN). AEN is committed to connecting its stakeholders for knowledge transfer, consulting, marketing, and business development to achieve sustainability.

The IETM is an annual event especially designed to bring together delegates and exhibitors to showcase products and services that have a strong ecotourism component, green technology, and sustainable green practices.

The spotlight of the event is on ecotourism - an important concept for a region rich in diverse natural and cultural resources.

At the core of ecotourism is our sustainability goals:

  • experience nature and culture in all its diversity;
  • ensure the protection and preservation of environment and culture;
  • generate awareness, appreciation, and care for the destinations;
  • create income for the local communities.

We bring you the first unique three-day event at Cavite, Philippines, one of the leading ecotourism destinations in the world in partnership with the International School of Sustainable Tourism (ISST), Philippines.
