The International Tourism, Travel & Vacation Show returns to Montreal this fall
Travel enthusiasts will be able to explore new destinations and find inspiration at the International Tourism, Travel & Vacation Show (SITV), presented by YUL, taking place October 30th to November 1st, 2026, at the Palais des congrès de Montréal.
More than 250 tourism professionals will be on hand to introduce visitors to destinations, cultures and new ways to experience the world. Among this year's highlights, Sri Lanka will make its debut at the show, joining popular destinations such as Tahiti, French Polynesia, Portugal, the Azores, Tanzania and South Korea.
Returning as the show's spokesperson, Jean-Michel Dufaux will share the stage this year with his longtime travel companion Benoît Roberge. The pair will discuss their adventures around the world, including their experiences in Japan and their series Deux Tapons au Japon, while sharing stories from more than 25 years of travelling together.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet directly with travel experts and tour operators to plan their next getaway. Destinations including Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan, China, Morocco, Costa Rica, Mexico, the Caribbean and many more will be represented.
The event will feature two conference rooms, where travellers and industry experts will share advice, stories and travel tips. The YUL Animation Plaza will bring different cultures to life through activities and entertainment, while the World Cuisine area, presented in collaboration with the ITHQ, will offer visitors another way to discover destinations through food.
The official SITV contest will also give visitors the chance to win two spots on a 14-day Central European land-and-river cruise package valued at $17,300, travelling from Budapest to Prague along the Danube.
