IITM Pune opens on Thursday 26 November 2026 for three days at Deccan College Ground in Yerwada, and the organiser has now put a number on this edition. A poster added to the India International Travel Mart homepage on 5 November bills the show at "360+" exhibitors from "21+" Indian states and 12 countries.
Suppliers and buyers planning the trip have little else to go on. As of 13 November 2026 the organiser had not published an exhibitor list, a floor plan or a seminar programme for Pune. Trade-visitor registration is open online.
When and where is IITM Pune 2026?
The show runs from Thursday 26 to Saturday 28 November, from 11:00 to 18:00 each day, according to the organiser's homepage. It lists the venue as Deccan College Ground, Survey Number 36, next to Bombay Sappers, Yerwada.
Pune is the second stop on a six-city 2026–27 schedule set out in the organiser's September brochure. Mumbai was first on the schedule, on 30 and 31 October.
The late-November slot is a familiar one. The site still lists a 2024 Pune edition, held from 29 November to 1 December that year, as "successfully completed".

How many exhibitors will be at IITM Pune 2026?
The poster is the only Pune-specific count. It gives "360+" exhibitors, "21+" Indian states and 12 countries under the line "Region's biggest travel & tourism exhibition". It does not say whether those are bookings for this month or totals from an earlier edition, and it names no exhibitor. The organiser offers no figures for other shows to support the "biggest" label.
The series-wide numbers are harder to pin down.
The September brochure cites "3500+" exhibitors and 55,000 trade and corporate buyers across nine "key travel markets". A separate "Why visit" page says IITM has given a platform to more than 2,469 exhibitors and 22,000 trade visitors from 39 countries "to date". The site does not date either set of figures or explain how they were counted.
Who can attend IITM Pune, and how do trade visitors register?
The Pune registration page calls the event a "B2B Travel & Tourism Exhibition". Visitors first pick a business category: hospitality, travel agency, DMC, aviation, cruise, transport, MICE, wedding planner or adventure. Two "other" options follow, one for travel and hospitality businesses and one marked "Not related to Travel / Hospitality".
A second step, labelled "Industry Screening", asks which industry the company belongs to. Its 12 choices include forex, travel and hotel technology, and "Other Industry". The form does not say how applications from outside the trade are handled.
The organiser's messaging on consumers is mixed. An older page on the same site, last modified in February, still describes IITM Pune as a platform for "B2B and B2C travel businesses and general visitors". No public day is advertised for this edition.
No visitor fee or registration deadline appears on the homepage, the trade-visitor page or the Pune form. The media page says hundreds of media delegates visit IITM every year, but it carries no accreditation form.
What has the organiser not published for Pune?
There is no exhibitor list, floor plan or hosted-buyer programme on the site. The brochure promises "seminars, workshops, and panel discussions" in general terms, with no speakers, topics or times for Pune.
The brochure does list countries "represented" at earlier shows, among them Australia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Switzerland and South Africa. That is a record of past participation, not a Pune line-up.
Its exhibitor profile is broad, running from national and state tourism boards to hotels, airlines, cruise lines and travel technology firms.
What comes after Pune on the IITM circuit?
Hyderabad follows quickly. IITM Hyderabad runs from 3 to 5 December at HITEX Exhibition Center, Hall 3, opening five days after Pune closes. Kochi is listed for 7 to 9 January 2027, Kolkata for 19 and 20 February with its venue still to be announced, and Ahmedabad for 12 and 13 March.
Chennai and Bengaluru appear on the homepage with dates marked "TBA". Our guide to the IITM circuit covers each city's venue and how the series works, and the India travel trade shows guide sets IITM beside the country's other trade fairs. Dates for the wider season are in the travel trade shows calendar.
