OTM Mumbai 2027

OTM Mumbai 2027 is a three-day travel trade show at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, from 1 to 3 February 2027. Organised by Fairfest Media, OTM focuses on India's outbound and domestic travel markets. It is for tourism boards, tour operators, hotels, airlines and travel agencies who want to reach Indian buyers or source products from India.

About OTM Mumbai

OTM describes itself as the gateway to India's travel markets. The organiser says the show brings together exhibitors from more than 60 countries, over 2,200 exhibitors, more than 1,100 hosted and VIP buyers and over 50,000 trade visitors. Those are the organiser's figures, but they show why many international tourism boards treat OTM as their main Indian trade event of the year.

For agencies in the Gulf, Egypt and North Africa, OTM matters in two ways. It is a place to meet Indian travel agencies that send families, honeymooners and groups abroad, including to the Middle East. It is also a place to meet Indian state tourism boards and operators for agencies that sell India to their own clients. The OTM Forum conference runs alongside the exhibition; see the official OTM website for the agenda and hosted buyer programme.

OTM Mumbai 2027 dates and venue

OTM Mumbai 2027 dates are Monday 1 February to Wednesday 3 February 2027. The organiser lists show hours of 10am to 6pm, but check final timings and any trade-only hours before you travel.

The venue is the Jio World Convention Centre in the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Mumbai's main business district. Exhibitors book stands through Fairfest Media, and trade visitors register online. Hosted buyers apply separately through the hosted buyer programme.

How to get to Mumbai for OTM Mumbai

Most visitors fly into Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), which has wide connections to the Gulf, Africa, Europe and Asia. The newer Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI) also serves the region, but transfers from there to BKC are longer.

BKC is relatively close to BOM by road, and taxis and app-based cabs are the usual choice. Mumbai traffic can be heavy, so allow extra time on show mornings. Visitors from elsewhere in India can arrive by train at Mumbai's main stations. Check the official entry requirements for India before planning international travel.

Where to stay

The most convenient area for hotels near Jio World Convention Centre is BKC itself, followed by Bandra, Santacruz and the hotels around the airport in Andheri. These keep daily travel to the venue short. South Mumbai and Colaba suit visitors who want sightseeing, but road journeys to BKC take longer.

Early February is peak business and wedding season in Mumbai, and hotel demand around BKC is high during OTM. Book rooms as early as possible, particularly for groups.

Planning a group trip to OTM Mumbai

Agencies attend OTM to meet many Indian buyers in one place, to compare destination products and to set up partnerships for the coming travel year. Agencies selling India to their clients can meet state tourism boards and Indian operators; those targeting Indian outbound travellers can meet the agencies that send them.

• Register as a trade visitor or apply for the hosted buyer programme through the official site.
• Pre-book meetings, as the show floor is large and days are busy.
• For a group trip to OTM, book hotels in BKC or Bandra and arrange shared transfers.
• Leave time for the OTM Forum sessions on market trends.
