WTM Spotlight India was officially launched in New Delhi, announcing its inaugural edition at Yashobhoomi from 2 to 4 March 2027. The event aims to connect India’s booming travel market with the global tourism industry.
WTM Spotlight India, the newest addition to the WTM portfolio by RX India, will make its debut at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, from 2 to 4 March 2027. The business event is designed to bring together international destinations, tourism boards, travel companies and industry leaders to strengthen partnerships between India and global markets.
Speaking at the launch, Umang Gupta, Country Head, RX India, said the timing was ideal as India’s travel industry continues to witness unprecedented growth, fuelled by rising incomes, increasing spending power and a strong appetite for travel across all segments.
Gupta said WTM Spotlight India will showcase India’s soft power, including its culture, heritage, spirituality and diversity, while creating a platform for meaningful two way tourism partnerships. He added that the trusted global WTM brand would offer Indian travel businesses greater access to international buyers, investment opportunities and worldwide networks.
Highlighting the country’s immense tourism potential, Gupta said the event will also shine a spotlight on India’s lesser-explored destinations, alongside established tourism hubs, helping position the country as one of the world’s most important travel markets.
