For the third consecutive year, OTM has been identified as the leading travel trade show in India and Asia in an independent study conducted by NielsenIQ (NIQ), the world leader in consumer intelligence.
As India’s strategic importance in global tourism continues to grow, OTM remains the platform where the travel industry connects, builds partnerships, and drives business outcomes.
Mumbai sits at the intersection of India’s travel and business economy. The city contributes over 6% of India’s GDP, accounts for nearly 40% of the country’s foreign trade, and is home to many of India’s leading travel companies, airlines, hospitality groups, and corporate headquarters.
For OTM, this concentration is strategic. It enables the show to bring together outbound tour operators, corporate travel buyers, MICE planners, hospitality leaders, and international tourism stakeholders in a market where travel partnerships, business decisions, and industry growth intersect at scale.
That is what makes Mumbai the strategic home of OTM.
