This year marked a monumental milestone for Giant Stride as we proudly debuted at ITB Berlin 2025, held from March 4-6 at the Messe Berlin Exhibition Ground in Germany. As a selected representative of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Travel Tech startup initiative, we had the incredible opportunity to showcase our innovative solutions at one of the world’s leading travel trade shows. For a company like ours, stepping onto this global stage for the first time was both a thrilling and humbling experience.
ITB Berlin 2025 was nothing short of extraordinary for us. Not only did we get to present our cutting-edge travel tech to an international audience, but we were also deeply honored by two very special visitors to our booth: Her Royal Highness Princess Ubolratana and Thailand’s Prime Minister, H.E. Ms. Paetongtarn Shinawatra. Having our founder, Benz, present Giant Stride’s vision to Her Royal Highness was a moment of immense pride—a testament to how far we’ve come and the potential ahead. Their visits underscored the importance of travel tech innovation in shaping Thailand’s tourism future, and we felt privileged to be part of that narrative.

The event itself was a whirlwind of opportunity. We connected with countless potential business partners from across the globe, each interaction opening doors to exciting collaborations that could elevate Giant Stride and Thailand’s travel tech ecosystem. The energy at ITB Berlin was electric, with over 180 countries represented and a shared passion for advancing the travel industry. Being part of the Thailand Pavilion—tripled in size this year to 1,820 square meters—allowed us to stand alongside 160 Thai tourism businesses, showcasing the vibrant innovation driving “Sustainable Thailand Soft Power” and the “Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025” campaign.
We owe a heartfelt thank you to the Tourism Authority of Thailand for selecting us to represent TAT’s Travel Tech startup initiative. Their trust in Giant Stride gave us this incredible platform, and we’re grateful for their support in helping us take our first steps onto the international stage. This experience has fueled our ambition, and we sincerely hope to continue working with TAT to push the boundaries of travel technology and contribute to Thailand’s goal of welcoming 39 million visitors in 2025.
ITB Berlin 2025 was more than just an event for us—it was a launchpad. We’re returning home inspired, connected, and ready to build on the momentum we’ve gained. To everyone we met, from potential partners to industry leaders, thank you for making this journey unforgettable. Here’s to taking giant strides together into the future of travel!
