ITM Lucknow 2026

ITM Lucknow 2026 is a travel trade exhibition in Lucknow, held on 17 to 19 December 2026.

About ITM Lucknow

India Travel Mart (ITM) is a series of business-to-business travel exhibitions held in cities across India. The organiser describes ITM as a set of premier B2B travel trade exhibitions connecting outbound and inbound tour operators, travel agents, state tourism boards and hospitality businesses, and it runs many regional editions each season.

Uttar Pradesh is India's most populous state and a large market for both pilgrimage and outbound travel. The organiser presents the Lucknow edition around Awadhi culture, Uttar Pradesh tourism and trade buyers. Many families in the state have relatives working in the Gulf, and Umrah and religious travel are important segments for local agencies.

For agencies in the Gulf, Egypt, North Africa and the Indian diaspora, regional marts such as ITM Lucknow 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 ITM website.

How to get to Lucknow for ITM Lucknow

The nearest major airport is Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (LKO). The airport is south of the city and has domestic links across India as well as international flights, including to the Gulf. Lucknow's main railway stations are also well connected.

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

Hazratganj, Gomti Nagar and the areas near the airport have a wide choice of hotels. Gomti Nagar is a modern district with many business hotels.

December is cool in Lucknow, and early-morning fog can affect road and air travel in northern India. Book rooms early if you are bringing a team or planning a group trip to ITM Lucknow, and choose a hotel with easy road access to the venue so you are not delayed on show mornings.

Planning a group trip to ITM Lucknow

Agencies attend ITM Lucknow to meet travel agencies from Lucknow and Uttar Pradesh, 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 ITM 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 heritage visit to the Bara Imambara and Lucknow's old city, or a trip to Ayodhya.
