This year’s edition saw exclusive participation from global destinations such as Japan, Kenya, Israel, and France, alongside official representations from countries including Egypt, Greece, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka. Panel discussions focused on key industry topics like India’s evolving hotel landscape, the rise of emerging destinations, and the integration of digital innovation in travel. One of the highlights was the ‘CineLocales’ session, which explored the influence of cinema on global travel choices and how international locations are being promoted through Indian films.
The event also provided an invaluable networking platform for travel and hospitality professionals, offering invitation-only sessions for C-suite executives to engage in strategic discussions. As India continues to position itself as a major player in global tourism, OTM 2025 underscored the country’s potential to drive travel trends and investments. Minister Shekhawat commended the Fairfest Media team for organising a world-class event that has consistently strengthened India’s tourism sector.
With a successful opening day, OTM 2025 set the stage for further discussions, collaborations, and business opportunities. The coming days promise deeper insights into market trends, investment potential, and new travel innovations that will shape the industry’s future. As the event progresses, it is expected to play a pivotal role in defining the trajectory of Indian and global tourism in the years ahead.
