The event, which targets food, beverage and amenity buyers across airline, rail, and leisure sea travel operators, will be rebranded World Travel Catering Expo.
It will take place in Hamburg from 27-29 March 2012, co-locating with Reed’s Aircraft Interiors Expo, which attracts senior buyers from the world’s major airlines.
According to ITCA, the travel catering market is currently worth $15bn and growing at about 5% each year.
Justin Tadman, divisional managing director at Reed Exhibitions, said: "Acquiring the event from ITCA is strategically important and enables us to provide the travel catering industry with a quality event dedicated to their sector. World Travel Catering Expo will focus on the needs of travel passengers’ in terms of comfort, menu and amenities."
ITCA’s Dubai event will continue as normal.
