IITM Ahmedabad 2027

IITM Ahmedabad 2027 is a travel trade exhibition in Ahmedabad, held on 12 to 13 March 2027. It is part of the IITM series of regional travel marts in India, and it is aimed at travel agents, tour operators, state tourism boards, hotels and destination suppliers who want to meet buyers from Ahmedabad and Gujarat.

About IITM Ahmedabad

India International Travel Mart (IITM) is a long-running series of travel exhibitions held in several Indian cities. The organiser presents it as a marketplace for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer meetings, so editions often draw travel agents and tour operators as well as members of the public planning holidays.

Gujarat is one of India's most active travel markets, known for family and group travel, both within India and abroad. Travellers from Ahmedabad and the wider state often book group tours and family holidays, and the state also has a large diaspora in the UK, the USA, East Africa and the Gulf.

For agencies in the Gulf, Egypt, North Africa and the Indian diaspora, regional marts such as IITM Ahmedabad are a lower-cost way to reach Indian travel agencies outside the big metro shows. They are also useful for agencies that sell India, since state tourism boards and local operators often exhibit. Full exhibitor and visitor information is on the official IITM website.

IITM Ahmedabad 2027 dates and venue

IITM Ahmedabad 2027 dates are 12 to 13 March 2027. This is a two-day edition, and the organiser lists opening hours of 11am to 6pm.

The venue is Gracia Hall at the YMCA Convention Center in Ahmedabad. Trade visitors usually register in advance, and exhibitors book stands directly with the organiser. Confirm opening hours, entry rules and any changes on the official website before you travel.

How to get to Ahmedabad for IITM Ahmedabad

The nearest major airport is Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD). The airport is in the north of the city and has direct flights to several Gulf cities. The road journey to the venue is straightforward outside peak traffic.

Taxis and app-based cabs are the simplest way to reach the venue from the airport or railway station. Visitors flying from the Gulf or North Africa will often connect through Delhi, Mumbai or another Indian hub, so build in a buffer for domestic connections. Check the official entry requirements for India before planning international travel.

Where to stay

The SG Highway and Prahlad Nagar areas have many business hotels and are convenient for the YMCA Convention Center. Hotels near the Sabarmati Riverfront suit visitors who want a more central base.

March is warm and dry in Ahmedabad, ahead of the hotter summer months. Book rooms early if you are bringing a team or planning a group trip to IITM Ahmedabad, and choose a hotel with easy road access to the venue so you are not delayed on show mornings.

Planning a group trip to IITM Ahmedabad

Agencies attend IITM Ahmedabad to meet travel agencies from Ahmedabad and Gujarat, to promote their destinations and packages, and to collect leads for the coming season. Exhibiting at a regional mart can be a practical first step for a supplier testing a new Indian market before committing to a larger national show.

• Register as a visitor or book a stand through the official IITM website.
• Prepare simple printed rate sheets or digital brochures, as many meetings are walk-up conversations.
• Arrange meetings in advance with agencies you already know in the region.
• Add a visit to Ahmedabad's old city, a UNESCO World Heritage City, or the Statue of Unity.
