Participating as a Buyer - company representatives only

Buyer participation is for tour operators, travel agents, OTAs, distribution channels and MICE operators which are looking for new products and destinations, and are involved in initiating or authorizing purchasing decisions on travel-related products and services, and are potential business partners to participating suppliers. They can register as Buyers free of charge. Travel costs and stay in Helsinki are on participant's own expense, unless participating a hosted buyer programme which is managed by Visit Finland and Finnair, and is 'by invitation only'.

All registrations are subject to validation. As soon as a profile is validated, you will receive a 'Profile validated' email. Several buyers can be under the same company profile, and you can add a colleague or colleagues when your profile is validated. Last day to enter profiles: 10 January 2025, if not fully-booked earlier. Meeting calendars will open in early December. With your Matka 2025 Workshop Day Buyer badge you have also access to Matka 2025 fair on all days 17-19 January.

Please note, that because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we do not accept participants from Russia in Matka Travel Fair or Matka Workshop Day for the time being.
