The travel industry is abuzz as OTM, Asia's largest and most influential travel trade show, is set to take place from January 30, 2025, to February 1, 2025, at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. Known for bringing together global destinations and the Indian travel trade, this year’s event promises to be the most significant yet, offering opportunities for businesses and professionals in the travel ecosystem.
With over 2,100 exhibitors and tourism boards from 60+ countries and 30 Indian states, OTM 2025 is poised to showcase the best of travel, leisure, and luxury. The event will host 40,000 qualified buyers, including 1,000 handpicked top buyers from Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities, making it an exceptional platform for connecting with India’s rapidly growing travel market.

A fireside chat with Tourism Minister Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat will set the tone, followed by panel discussions featuring notable speakers like Amanpreet Singh (Airbnb), Neel Ghose (Skyscanner), and Santosh Kumar (Booking.com). Day 2 will highlight destination weddings and luxury celebrations with WeddingSutra Engage, a gathering of India’s top wedding planners.
