The 14th Bangladesh Travel and Tourism Fair (BTTF) 2026 will be held from October 29 to 31 at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre (BCFCC) in Dhaka, bringing together tourism professionals, businesses and industry representatives from home and abroad.
Organised by the Tour Operators Association of Bangladesh (TOAB), the three-day fair will focus on the theme “AI-Powered Tourism, Sustainable Destination”, highlighting the role of artificial intelligence and modern technology in tourism development, sustainable travel and international cooperation.
Details of the fair were announced at a press conference held at Crowne Plaza Dhaka Airport on Tuesday morning, presided over by TOAB President Mohammad Hanif.
Following 13 successful editions, BTTF has emerged as a platform for showcasing Bangladesh’s tourism potential and creating business opportunities with international partners, organisers said.
