The Ministry of Economy, Digitalization, Entrepreneurship and Tourism (MEDAT) has set July 31, 2026, as a single, advance deadline for submitting participation documentation for economic operators at three major international tourism trade fairs in the autumn of 2026. The measure targets the presence of Romanian companies within the national pavilion at B2B events organized in Rimini, London, and Barcelona.<\/p>\n
The decision was officialized by Order no. 1132\/16.07.2026 and represents an exception to the De Minimis Aid Scheme, which previously allowed submitting documents up to 30 days prior to each event. The measure applies to the exhibition events TTG Travel Experience in Rimini (October 14-16, 2026), World Travel Market in London (November 3-5, 2026), and IBTM World in Barcelona (November 17-19, 2026).<\/p>\n
According to MEDAT representatives, moving the deadline forward is driven by the predominantly B2B format of these trade fairs, where establishing partnerships depends on early access to the organizers’ digital matchmaking platforms. By completing the co-exhibitor selection process in advance, the ministry guarantees Romanian companies access to these digital tools to create profiles, identify international partners, and schedule business meetings prior to the official opening of the exhibitions.<\/p>\n
