Dear Readers,
The business events landscape in India is evolving at an unprecedented pace. With world-class convention infrastructure, stronger air connectivity, growing government support and increasing international interest, the country is steadily positioning itself as a serious contender on the global MICE map. While the opportunities are immense, the journey ahead also calls for innovation, collaboration and a unified vision from every stakeholder in the ecosystem.
Recognising this pivotal moment, our August 2026 issue is dedicated entirely to MICE. To present a comprehensive perspective, we reached out to 15 leading hoteliers from across India to understand how MICE is shaping their business strategies, investments and future growth. Their insights reflect the increasing significance of business events as a key revenue driver for the hospitality industry.
Complementing these views are thought-provoking perspectives from 15 of India’s leading MICE professionals, who share their observations on emerging trends, changing client expectations, technological advancements and the strategic measures required for India to realise its ambition of becoming a leading global MICE destination. Together, these expert voices provide a holistic view of where the industry stands today and where it is headed tomorrow.
This special issue also brings you extensive coverage of the FAITH Conclave 2026, where industry leaders deliberated on the future roadmap for Indian tourism. In addition, we feature exclusive insight interviews on some of the most anticipated industry platforms in the months ahead, including World Travel Collective (WTC) in Ahmedabad, the Conventions India Conclave (CIC) by ICPB in New Delhi, and ITB India in Mumbai. These conversations offer readers an inside look at the vision, opportunities and business potential these events bring to the travel trade.
We hope this special MICE edition informs, inspires and contributes to the dialogue that will define the next chapter of India’s business events story.
Happy Reading!
