The Guide
WELCOME
Congratulations, we’re delighted that you’ll be joining us for the fifth edition of Do Not Disturb! We’re looking forward to redefining private travel with you and sharing this unique marketplace at the exquisite Borgo Egnazia.
Welcome to Do Not Disturb 2025
To the dreamers of Private Travel… welcome.
Do Not Disturb isn’t just an event. It’s a moment suspended in time – where the boundaries between business and belonging merge annually, to create a space for private travel’s most influential minds to gather.
Now in our fifth edition, Do Not Disturb continues to celebrate everything that sets our by-invitation-only guest list apart: unadulterated access to a private travel guild dedicated to reimagining luxury at the highest level.
And everyone invited to attend – from private islands, private residences to private yacht specialists – represents a rarified world where the best of private travel converge to unlock luxury.
Borgo Egnazia, our home for the week, is an incomparable setting that exemplifies the values of true luxury – Space, Seclusion and Sustainability.
So, take your time and look through your guide for all the information you’ll need to meet us in Puglia in November! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

Managing Director and Co-founder

MEETINGS
Do Not Disturb’s online appointment system has pre-arranged up to 39 of the most business-effective meetings, each lasting 20 minutes, with the leading exhibitors and buyers in private travel. How the matching works:
PHASE 1: BUILD YOUR PROFILE
This information will be made available to Buyers and Press when they select their appointment preferences in Phase 2 (see below), so make sure your profile stands out from the crowd.
Please ensure that you only input information for the company you have been invited to represent and the people that will be representing your company at the show.
PHASE 2 OPENS: APPOINTMENT PREFERENCES
29 SEPTEMBER – 13 OCTOBER 2025
This is where you will have access to key information on the Buyers and Press attending the show and is where you will be able to select 50 preferences based on those Buyers and Press you most want to meet with.
NEXT: WE DO THE MATCHMAKING
14 OCTOBER – 21 OCTOBER 2025
Once Phase 2 closes, we run a matching algorithm to generate appointments.
PHASE 3: ONLINE DIARY OPENS
22 OCTOBER 2025
You will be sent your online diary where you’ll be able to see those appointments that resulted from our matching algorithm and where you’ll be able to request meetings in any empty slots with Buyers or Press who are also available in those time slots.
Be sure to keep logging in during this phase to accept/decline any requests. If you have any queries or issues with your diary, please contact the team as soon as possible for assistance.
MISSED MEETINGS
IMPORTANT: Do Not Disturb takes the issue of missed meetings very seriously, whether by Exhibitors, Buyers or Press. Unless you are able to provide a sufficient and relevant explanation for your absence, missing even one meeting may compromise your and your company’s ability to participate in Do Not Disturb or in any This is Beyond event in the future. All missed appointments are recorded and monitored tightly – we ask that you report every missed appointment via the Event App. Click on the meeting you would like to report, and select “Mark as No Show”. Alternatively please email donotdisturb@thisisbeyond.com.

Pack a shawl or light jacket for evening temperatures.

EXHIBITING GUIDES
GENERAL GUIDELINES
You’ve been selected to exhibit at Do Not Disturb because you are a leader in private travel. Follow these guidelines and make sure your show experience is seamless.
- Keep your stand neat and tidy at all times.
- Avoid eating at your stand where possible, as this does not look appealing to visitors.
- Do not leave your stand unattended, as this might lead you to miss appointments.
- Please arrive at your stand on time.
- Make sure you wear your exhibitor badge and security bracelet at all times to allow for easy access to the venue.
- Please be courteous to Buyers and other Exhibitors participating in the show at all times, as your attitude will reflect on the perception of your company.
PLEASE NOTE: All efforts to advertise, demonstrate and operate an exhibition must be conducted so as not to infringe on the rights of other exhibitors. No exhibit will be permitted to interfere with the use of other exhibits or impede access to them or the free use of the aisles. Do Not Disturb management and Borgo Egnazia reserves the right to limit and/or restrict operations, which, for any reason, might be considered objectionable, without any liability for refund and/or damage.
PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE
ASSUMPTION OF RISK FOR EXHIBITORS AND COMPULSORY THIRD PARTY/PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE
It should be understood by the Exhibitor that the nature of the facilities available, presence and circulation of large numbers of people, difficulty of effective supervision over the protection of large numbers of removable articles in stands and various other factors make it reasonable that each Exhibitor shall assume the risk of any injury, loss and/or damage to themselves or a third party. It is a requirement for Do Not Disturb exhibitors and sub-exhibitors to have a public liability insurance cover for a minimum of Euro 10 million valid in Italy for the duration of the show.
Unless you have asked us otherwise, Do Not Disturb has automatically added a Public Liability administration fee of GBP 199 to your invoice in order to ensure that you are added to the insurance policy of the show and therefore correctly covered.
This Public Liability Insurance will cover you if you or your business operation accidentally injures someone. It will also cover you if you damage third party property while at the venue during the course of the event.
If you have any questions regarding the Public Liability Insurance please contact donotdisturb@thisisbeyond.com.
RESPONSIBILITY OF CONTRACTED EXHIBITORS TOWARDS THE PROMOTION OF TRAVEL PRODUCTS
The Exhibitor shall notify Do Not Disturb of the name and contact details of each stand sharer or product intended to be displayed or promoted at the show no later than 120 days prior to the start of the exhibition, to ensure that they conform to Do Not Disturb’s theme and show profile. Do Not Disturb is entitled to cancel the Contract if it considers, at its sole discretion, that the products or services promoted or showcased by the Exhibitor or any person sharing a stand do not fit the profile of the Exhibition and/or venue guidelines.
Do Not Disturb will always communicate with the contracted Exhibitor directly. It is the responsibility of the contracted Exhibitor to propagate all information received and to make sure that all delegates present at the show respect deadlines and the terms and conditions of the contract.
The Exhibitor shall be deemed to act as agent in respect of each stand sharer, who shall be bound by these terms accordingly. In the event that any stand sharer fails to comply with these terms or otherwise defaults in its obligations to This is Beyond, the Exhibitor shall be liable for all losses, liabilities and costs incurred by Do Not Disturb arising from such non-compliance or default.
In order to ensure a productive and safe exhibiting environment please make sure you follow these simple guidelines. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
