Outbound Travel Mart (OTM) 2026 commenced at the Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai, with strong global participation, reaffirming India’s position as one of the world’s most influential outbound travel markets. Recognised as Asia’s leading travel trade exhibition, OTM 2026 has brought together tourism boards, airlines, destination management companies, technology providers and travel trade professionals from across continents.
Day 1 saw packed exhibition halls and high-intensity business discussions, reflecting sustained demand from Indian outbound travellers across leisure, corporate, MICE, weddings and experiential travel segments. International destinations from Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East showcased customised offerings aligned with evolving Indian traveller preferences.
Industry leaders highlighted India’s growing role as a source market, driven by rising disposable incomes, improved air connectivity and a strong appetite for global experiences. Hosted buyer programmes, pre-scheduled meetings and association-led networking further enhanced the business outcome-driven nature of the event.
As OTM progresses over three days, the exhibition continues to serve as a critical platform where global tourism supply connects with India’s rapidly expanding outbound travel ecosystem, setting the tone for partnerships and market strategies in the year ahead.
