TTF Mumbai 2025 set to Reignite India’s Travel Trade Industry

The Indian tourism industry was one of the largest service industries in the country in terms of its contribution to GDP and foreign exchange earnings, in addition to being a source of employment.

The Indian domestic travel market offers a wide range of experiences tailored to various segments of the population. Government initiatives, such as the ‘Pilgrimage Rejuvenation and Spiritual Augmentation Drive’ and the ‘India Says I Do’ campaign, aim to boost business in the religious tourism and destination wedding tourism segments, respectively. Additionally, the popularity of staycations and workcations has surged, driven by changing preferences and flexible work options.

Part of the over 677 million domestic tourists in the country also jumped on the staycation and workcation trend. On average, a budget-friendly traveler spent between four to five thousand Indian rupees per night on a hotel, while premium accommodation started at nine thousand Indian rupees per night.

The growth of Domestic Tourism is reflected at TTF Mumbai being the financial capital, is a key market for India’s domestic and international travel. Its high travel demand and connectivity make it a prime market for tourism businesses looking to expand their reach.

Mr. Sanjiv Agarwal, Chairman and CEO of Fairfest Media, remarked, “We are thrilled to bring TTF back to Mumbai after a gap of six years, and this time at the iconic Jio World Convention Centre.

Ms. Diya Kumari, Honourable Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, said, "It is a pleasure to be at TTF Mumbai and be part of such a vibrant gathering of the travel and tourism fraternity.
