Kerala Travel Mart (KTM) 2026, India’s largest tourism and hospitality industry event, will be held in Kochi in September 2026. Now in its 13th edition, KTM continues to be a key business-to-business platform connecting tourism professionals from India and around the world.

The three-day event brings together tour operators, travel agents, hospitality brands, destination managers, MICE and wedding planners, along with national and international tourism experts. KTM 2026 will feature pre-scheduled B2B meetings, policy-level discussions, seminars, and networking sessions, offering participants a comprehensive understanding of Kerala’s tourism potential.

The event is expected to host 400+ international buyers and 1,500+ domestic buyers, including hosted buyers and high-value MICE and wedding planners. More than 400 seller stalls will be set up, facilitating over 60,000 pre-arranged B2B meetings across the event days. Special focus will be placed on attracting buyers from new global markets while strengthening participation from existing ones.

Kerala Travel Mart 2026 will be fully digitised, with online registration, meeting scheduling, seminars, and event management supported by upgraded software and a dedicated mobile application. The event will also include post-event tours across multiple tourism sectors in Kerala, along with familiarisation tours for invited media representatives.
