The HUB is an exclusive and year-round platform that propels business networking, product discovery, and collaboration to new heights. Through the HUB, we are championing the convergence of retail travel professionals from all corners of the globe. This platform will serve as a comprehensive resource, enabling the exploration of innovative brands, access to cutting-edge products, and the forging of meaningful connections—all unified within a single, accessible space hosted by TGA.
