Northstar Travel Media LLC (Northstar Travel Group)

Northstar Travel Group (legally Northstar Travel Media LLC in many filings) is a leading global B2B information, media, and events company focused on the travel, tourism, meetings, hospitality, and sports-event sectors. Originating as a travel trade publisher, Northstar has grown into what it describes as the largest and most trusted travel media, information, marketing services, and event company worldwide, serving professionals across corporate travel, leisure travel, group and incentive travel, hotel investment, destination marketing, and travel technology.

The company’s portfolio spans **14+ media brands** and multiple event franchises, delivering news, research, data, and face‑to‑face marketplaces that connect over **1.3 million industry professionals** through digital platforms, print, social channels, and live experiences. Its brands and events support decision‑makers at travel agencies, tour operators, TMCs, hotel groups, destination organizations, cruise lines, airlines, and meetings and incentive planners.

On the events side, Northstar organizes specialized trade shows, hosted‑buyer programs, and conferences that facilitate high‑value buying appointments, education, and networking. Flagship experiences include the **Global Travel Marketplace (GTM)** series for top‑producing travel advisors, hotel investment and development conferences under the Northstar umbrella, and meetings‑industry forums produced by its Meetings Group brands.

These events are designed to be highly curated, qualifying buyers and suppliers to maximize ROI for exhibitors and sponsors. Headquartered in Rutherford, New Jersey, with offices in New York, London, and Singapore, Northstar operates on a multi‑continent footprint that gives its events strong reach in North America, EMEA, and Asia‑Pacific.

Following its acquisition by JTB Corp., Northstar benefits from enhanced global backing while continuing to operate its established brands and event platforms independently within the international travel ecosystem.
