IITM Hyderabad 2026

IITM Hyderabad 2026 is a travel trade exhibition in Hyderabad, held on 3 to 5 December 2026. 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 Hyderabad and Telangana.

About IITM Hyderabad

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.

Hyderabad has a large, growing outbound market and close family and work links with the Gulf. Many travellers from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh visit Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other Gulf states, and the city also has a strong market for Umrah, family holidays and medical travel, which makes it relevant for Gulf-based agencies.

For agencies in the Gulf, Egypt, North Africa and the Indian diaspora, regional marts such as IITM Hyderabad 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 Hyderabad 2026 dates and venue

IITM Hyderabad 2026 dates are 3 to 5 December 2026. The organiser lists opening hours of 11am to 6pm.

The venue is Hall No. 3 at HITEX Exhibition Center in Izzat Nagar, near Kondapur and the HITEC City technology district. 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 Hyderabad for IITM Hyderabad

The nearest major airport is Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD). The airport is at Shamshabad, south of the city. HITEX is in the west of Hyderabad, and the road journey uses the Outer Ring Road.

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

HITEC City, Gachibowli, Madhapur and Kondapur are the most practical areas for hotels near HITEX Exhibition Center. Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills are good alternatives with more dining options.

December brings mild weather to Hyderabad and a busy events calendar. Book rooms early if you are bringing a team or planning a group trip to IITM Hyderabad, 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 Hyderabad

Agencies attend IITM Hyderabad to meet travel agencies from Hyderabad and Telangana, 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 day for heritage visits such as the Charminar and Golconda Fort.
