This commemorative issue celebrates the 25th silver anniversary of the International Tourism-Börse (ITB) Berlin, recognized as one of the world's leading trade fairs for the global travel industry. The 100 Pfennig stamp features a vibrant, abstract globe design symbolizing the international reach of the event.
Released by the Deutsche Bundespost on January 8, 1991, the issue was designed by Bernd Görs. The historical overview details the fair's growth from its 1966 debut—which featured only nine exhibitors from five countries—to a massive global forum hosting approximately 3,500 exhibitors from over 160 countries and territories by its 25th year. The collector's sheet is preserved with a first-day-of-issue cancellation from Bonn, featuring a specialized postmark dedicated to the ITB Berlin anniversary.
