The 30th edition of MTM and LLTM 2026 brought together India’s leading corporate MICE buyers, hospitality brands, tourism partners, and airlines at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar for 2 high-impact days of curated meetings, recognition and strategic networking.
MTM & LLTM 2026, the MICE Travel Mart and Luxury & Leisure Travel Mart, reaffirmed its standing as one of India’s most focused B2B travel platforms for corporate MICE, luxury hospitality, destination marketing, leisure travel and celebration-led wedding business, as it concluded successfully on 28 May 2026 at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar.
The Mumbai edition brought together key stakeholders across India’s corporate travel, MICE, luxury, leisure and wedding ecosystem, with discussions centred on future corporate movements, incentive groups, conferences, exhibitions, destination weddings and curated travel requirements. The event reflected the growing demand for structured, high-value business engagement between buyers, hospitality brands, tourism boards, airlines, destinations and service partners.
The event is estimated to have opened business conversations worth approximately 700 Crore INR (74 Million USD), while representing a potential movement of more than 65,000-70,000 people across MICE programmes, events, hospitality-led engagements and weddings.
The Mumbai edition brought together a powerful mix of corporate travel decision makers, hospitality leaders, tourism boards, airlines, DMCs, event organisers and travel solution providers. Designed as a business-first forum, the event again put high intent, face-to-face meetings at the centre of the day through its signature Reverse Marketplace™ format.
The event reflected the continued momentum of India’s corporate MICE and luxury travel market, where buyers are looking for sharper propositions, reliable partners, better destination access and experience-led hospitality solutions. MTM and LLTM’s strength lies in its carefully curated structure, allowing brands and buyers to move beyond surface-level networking into serious business conversations.
The Two-Day Advantage: A focused spotlight for Airlines and Tourism Boards
A notable 2026 addition was the MTM and LLTM Two-Day Advantage Programme, held for the second time as a focused spotlight for domestic and international tourism boards seeking deeper engagement and stronger conversion outcomes within India’s corporate and incentive travel market
Air Mauritius was the valued partner of the Two-Day Advantage Programme, using the platform to showcase Air Mauritius’ MICE strengths before corporate buyers. The session highlighted airline curation, destination advantages, bespoke travel possibilities, connectivity support and relevant airline updates, giving buyers a clearer view of how Air Mauritius can serve incentive travel, corporate movement and premium outbound programmes.
Its value was clear. Airlines and Destinations often meet buyers during a packed exhibition day, among many competing conversations. The Two-Day Advantage Programme gave them an earlier window. They could build recall first, begin meaningful buyer engagement ahead of the main mart, and enter the next day with warmer conversations already in motion.
Day 1: Spotlighted Air Mauritius presentation and networking evening
27 May 2026
Day 1 created a smaller, more conversational setting before the main exhibition day. The format gave Air Mauritius direct access to a carefully curated room of pan-India corporate MICE buyers.
Air Mauritius used the session for a crisp presentation by Gagan Sharma, Country Manager India, Air Mauritius, placing Air Mauritius’ MICE story before a relevant buyer audience in a quieter, more focused environment. This was followed by an interactive Q&A session.
The presentation highlighted Mauritius as a compact, infrastructure-rich MICE hub, supported by strong global air connectivity and operational efficiency suited for time-sensitive corporate programmes.
MTM and LLTM 2026 opens to a full house in Mumbai
MTM and LLTM 2026 opened at JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar with a formal inauguration and ceremonial lamp lighting, marking an auspicious beginning for the 30th edition.
The formal inauguration ceremonies were led by Kamal Gill, Executive Editor and Managing Director, Gill India Group, and Director, OptiMICE Events, along with Kewal Gill, Chairman, Gill India Group.
They were joined by senior industry leaders including Gagan Sharma, Country Manager India, Air Mauritius; Kean Bon Lim, Area Director, India, South Asia and Africa, Singapore Tourism Board; Haryanty Abu Bakar, Director, Western and Central India, Maldives, Tourism Malaysia, Jehangir Press, Vice President, SAMG, Commercial, IHCL, and Sherry Padda, General Manager, Athiva Hotels & Resorts, Chalet Hotels Ltd.
The gathering brought together senior representatives across hospitality, aviation, tourism, corporate travel, destination management, luxury travel and the wedding industry.
The Mumbai edition saw participation by corporate MICE buyers, procurement heads, administration leaders, HR decision makers, travel managers, event specialists, wedding planners and hospitality partners across India. Senior buyer presence and strong industry participation reflected the growing role of MTM and LLTM as a serious business room built around relevant conversations and measurable outcomes.
Kamal Gill, Executive Editor and Managing Director, Gill India Group, and Director, OptiMICE Events, delivered the welcome address and reflected on the renewed momentum in travel and the growing relevance of face-to-face engagement.
She shared, “The past year has been reassuring for the travel, tourism and hospitality industry. Across the world, there have been conflicts, economic pressures, changing markets and constant volatility. Yet travel has continued to move forward with remarkable resilience. People are travelling again, meeting again, celebrating again, and choosing experiences with confidence.
“Global tourism reached an estimated 1.52 billion international arrivals in 2025, a new record for the sector. (The World Tourism Barometer by UN Tourism) Quite simply, the world is travelling again, and it is doing so with renewed conviction.
“Here in India, the story is even more encouraging. Domestic tourist visits had already crossed 303 crore by August 2025, reflecting the strength of India’s own travel economy. Foreign exchange earnings from tourism stood at over ₹2.73 lakh crore in 2025. These figures reflect confidence, aspiration, and the Indian customer’s growing desire to explore, gather, celebrate and connect in person.”
Underscoring MICE as a key driver of that momentum, she added, “The MICE sector continues to be a strong driver of this growth. India’s MICE market is estimated at around US$49.4 billion, with strong growth projected in the years ahead. India’s business travel market is also among the fastest-growing globally, with annual spend projected to rise by 15.5% in 2025.”
Partners who powered MTM and LLTM 2026 Mumbai
The Mumbai edition was supported by partners across hospitality, aviation, gifting and awards, reflecting the wider ecosystem that serves corporate MICE, weddings, luxury travel and destination-led events.

MTM and LLTM and the World of Corporate MICE
MTM and LLTM stand as a testament to the fact that business goes on. Partnerships continue. Conversations continue. Decisions continue. Even in uncertain times, this industry finds a way forward because the customer continues to believe in travel, in hospitality, and in the value of shared experiences.
Across the mart floor, the conversations reflected a market moving with intent. Buyers explored destinations, hotel inventories, airline connectivity, destination management support, offsite formats, incentive travel ideas, luxury extensions, wedding venues and group movement possibilities.
The event also captured a clear shift in corporate expectations. Buyers are no longer looking only for venues or destinations. They are looking for partners who can deliver reliability, flexibility, service consistency and memorable experiences within defined budgets and timelines.
Reverse Marketplace™: The core that powered MTM and LLTM 2026
The signature Reverse Marketplace™ remained the commercial engine of MTM and LLTM 2026 Mumbai. Designed to create precision-focused meetings, the format gives exhibitors structured access to pre-qualified corporate buyers and decision makers.
The main mart day was structured in an interactive format, with a strong focus on the Reverse Marketplace. The morning session brought together 45+ pre-qualified corporate buyers from across India, including Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Pune, followed by a networking lunch.
The evening Reverse Marketplace featured 45+ pre-qualified corporate buyers from Mumbai, creating a strong business environment for exhibitors to engage directly with key corporate travel decision-makers.
Exhibitors met corporate buyers to discuss meetings, incentives, conferences, exhibitions, off-sites, annual events, leadership retreats, dealer meets, employee recognition programmes, training programmes, business travel and luxury hospitality requirements.
For buyers, the format created an efficient environment to discover credible travel and hospitality partners. For exhibitors, it provided direct access to decision makers with clear requirements and future business potential.
The Reverse Marketplace™ once again demonstrated why MTM and LLTM continue to stand apart from conventional exhibition formats. It placed serious conversations ahead of crowd movement and ensured that time spent at the event translated into a business opportunity.
Business conversations moved with clarity and purpose
Across the event floor, conversations moved quickly beyond introductions. Corporate buyers and exhibitors discussed incentive formats, group sizes, seasonal windows, budget expectations, destination feasibility, venue flexibility, air connectivity, room inventory, local experiences, F&B options, sustainability expectations and operational readiness.
The discussions also reflected the increasing importance of experience-led MICE. Buyers showed interest in destinations and hotels that can offer more than boardrooms and banquet halls. Wellness, culture, local immersion, curated dining, entertainment, sustainability and luxury leisure extensions emerged as important themes.
For hospitality brands and destination partners, the exhibition offered an opportunity to present complete solutions rather than isolated products. For buyers, it provided a practical way to compare options, assess partners and initiate meaningful discussions within a single business day.
Get lucky with the Lucky Dip: A lighter moment in a serious business Day
The Lucky Dip session brought a welcome shift in pace at MTM and LLTM 2026, adding warmth and good humour after a day shaped by meetings, buyer conversations and commercial engagement.
For corporate buyers, it became a relaxed pause within a packed schedule. Senior hospitality leaders joined the moment, creating a lively room and adding a personal layer beyond formal business discussions.
With prizes including luxury hotel stays, international card vouchers, and fine-dining vouchers, the Lucky Dip gave participants a cheerful shared experience. It also reflected an important part of MTM and LLTM’s character. Strong business platforms work better when conversation, comfort and human connection sit naturally alongside strategy and outcomes.
