IITM Pune 2026

IITM Pune 2026 is a travel trade exhibition in Pune, held on 26 to 28 November 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 Pune and western Maharashtra.

About IITM Pune

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.

Pune is one of India's largest education and technology cities, with a young, travel-minded population and many families who take regular holidays. It is a strong market for domestic hill stations, beach breaks and short-haul international trips, including to the Gulf and South-East Asia.

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

IITM Pune 2026 dates are 26 to 28 November 2026. The organiser lists opening hours of 11am to 6pm.

The venue is Deccan College Ground in Yerwada, next to the Bombay Sappers area in north-east Pune. 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 Pune for IITM Pune

The nearest major airport is Pune Airport (PNQ). The airport is in Lohegaon, a relatively short road journey from Yerwada. Mumbai's airports are another option, followed by a road or rail journey to Pune.

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

Yerwada, Kalyani Nagar, Koregaon Park and Viman Nagar are all close to the venue and have many hotels, cafes and restaurants.

Late November is a pleasant, dry time of year in Pune and the start of the wedding season. Book rooms early if you are bringing a team or planning a group trip to IITM Pune, 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 Pune

Agencies attend IITM Pune to meet travel agencies from Pune and western Maharashtra, 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.
• Pair the show with meetings in Mumbai, a few hours away by road or rail.
