OTM 2026 is set to return to Mumbai from February 5–7, 2026, at the Jio World Convention Centre, positioning India firmly at the centre of the global travel and tourism conversation. With over 2,200 exhibitors from more than 60 countries, the upcoming edition is expected to be one of the most internationally diverse travel trade shows ever hosted in India.
The event will bring together 45+ National Tourism Organisations (NTOs), over 30 destinations participating exclusively at OTM, and an anticipated 50,000+ trade visitors, including 1,000+ hosted and VIP buyers. This scale reflects a larger industry reality: India has rapidly transitioned from being an emerging outbound market to a strategic priority for destinations worldwide.
In recent years, rising disposable incomes, enhanced air connectivity, and a strong appetite for experiential and long-haul travel have reshaped India’s outbound tourism profile. OTM 2026 mirrors this transformation through strong participation from both established and emerging destinations. Tourism boards from regions across Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and island nations will be present, many of them investing in India through exclusive participation, signaling long-term trade intent.
Established Western markets are also reinforcing their commitment, with European tourism bodies, North American representatives, and African destinations strengthening their engagement with Indian travel trade partners. Africa, in particular, is gaining momentum as a key focus region for leisure, wildlife, and experiential tourism.
Designed as a high-impact B2B platform, OTM 2026 will facilitate over 50,000 pre-scheduled meetings, enabling focused interactions between buyers and exhibitors across airlines, hotels, tourism boards, DMCs, cruise lines, attractions, and travel technology providers.
Complementing the exhibition, OTM Forum will host leadership dialogues featuring senior government representatives, global industry leaders, and top executives from travel, aviation, hospitality, MICE, and wedding planning sectors. The inclusion of CineLocales, a dedicated marketplace connecting destinations with film and OTT producers, further highlights OTM’s forward-looking approach to destination promotion.
With its scale, diversity, and business-driven focus, OTM 2026 is poised to reinforce India’s position as one of the world’s most influential outbound travel markets.
