OTM 2025 turned Mumbai’s Jio World Convention Centre into a powerhouse of global tourism from January 30 to February 1. With over 2,100 exhibitors from 80+ countries and 30 Indian states, the event was a vibrant showcase of destinations, trends, and collaborations. More than 40,000 buyers and visitors flooded the venue, making it the ultimate networking hotspot for travel professionals.

The grand inauguration saw India’s Union Minister for Tourism and Culture, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, alongside international dignitaries like H.E. Mr. Haim Katz, Israel’s Minister of Tourism, emphasizing OTM’s role in shaping global travel. Georgia, Greece, Israel, Japan, and Morocco made the event their exclusive showcase in the region, further cementing its prestige. Manikandan Janardanan, Managing Director, and Santhosh Menon, Head of Sales at AirlinePros India, were among the industry leaders, actively engaging in discussions, forging new partnerships, and strengthening airline representation opportunities.

Beyond mainstream tourism, OTM spotlighted emerging trends like the booming destination wedding sector. The ‘WeddingSutra Engage’ session, led by WeddingSutra.com CEO Parthip Thyagarajan, explored how global tourism boards are wooing affluent Indian families for lavish celebrations abroad. This, along with high-level industry dialogues, solidified OTM 2025 as a must-attend event for travel professionals seeking new opportunities in a rapidly evolving industry.
