ITB, the world’s leading travel hub, is known for its unmatched brand authority. As it continues to build its global presence, it has also remarkably created a local impact. The 4th edition of ITB India 2025 will be held from September 2-4, 2025, at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. This annual B2B outbound travel trade show will connect key travel industry leaders and international exhibitors across various sectors like MICE, Corporate and leisure travel, focusing on fast-growing Indian and South Asian markets.
