The same organiser as OTM
TTF sits in the same stable as OTM Mumbai, which gives suppliers a straightforward way to combine national and regional reach. OTM delivers concentrated outbound buyer volume in Mumbai; the TTF editions extend that into southern and eastern markets where the buyer base is real but dispersed.
It is one of the longest-running trade fair networks in Indian travel, which matters practically: local agent databases built over decades are what a first-time exhibitor is actually buying access to.
South India is the point
The February pairing of Bengaluru and Chennai one week apart is deliberate, and it is the most efficient way to work southern India. Bengaluru brings a technology-sector corporate and affluent leisure base; Chennai brings a distinct Tamil Nadu agency network with its own strong outbound patterns, particularly toward Southeast Asia.
Suppliers targeting the region regularly do both in a single trip. Bangalore Palace Grounds and Chennai Trade Centre are both established exhibition venues with straightforward logistics.
Trade hours versus public hours
TTF editions typically run trade-focused access alongside consumer days, and the two need different staffing. Trade hours are for contracting conversations; public hours generate consumer awareness and direct enquiries but consume stand time.
Exhibitors who treat both identically tend to be disappointed. The workable approach is to staff trade hours with commercial people and public hours with brochure-and-brand staff, and to capture consumer leads for handover to your agent partners rather than servicing them directly — which protects the trade relationships the show exists to build.
The southern outbound picture
Bengaluru and Chennai together represent a substantial share of Indian outbound demand, with particularly strong flows into Southeast Asia. That makes the February pairing valuable for Thai, Malaysian, Singaporean, Vietnamese and Indonesian suppliers, and increasingly for Gulf and Central Asian destinations competing for the same travellers.
Frequently asked questions
What are the TTF 2026-27 dates?
TTF Hyderabad runs 9-11 October 2026, TTF Bengaluru 19-21 February 2027 and TTF Chennai 26-28 February 2027. TTF Mumbai was held 20-22 August 2026.
What is the difference between TTF and IITM?
Both are touring Indian travel fair circuits visiting multiple cities. TTF comes from the same organiser as OTM Mumbai; the two circuits differ mainly in their city calendars and venues.
Which TTF edition is best for southern India?
Bengaluru (19-21 February 2027) and Chennai (26-28 February 2027) run a week apart, so most suppliers targeting the south work both in one trip.
