Reed Travel Exhibitions also handles the management contracts for British Travel Trade Fair (Birmingham, UK), AIME, Melbourne (AsiaPacific Incentives & Meetings Expo) and organise, on behalf of ICCA, the ICCA Exhibition which runs alongside the annual ICCA Congress.

Additional exhibitions include - CIBTM, Beijing, launched in July 2005 and City Break, and the purchase of International Luxury Travel Market (Cannes), the first trade event dedicated to the global luxury travel sector.
