Our thanks to the exhibitors, tourism boards, buyers and partners who made it happen.”
Ahmedabad Emerges as a Key Travel Trade Hub
Gujarat’s strong economy, rising disposable incomes and highly travel-active population have contributed to its emergence as one of India’s leading travel markets. Its strategic location and strong outbound travel demand have further strengthened Ahmedabad’s role as a gateway to Western India’s travel trade.
TTF Ahmedabad has consequently grown into the largest show in the TTF series, occupying more than twice the exhibition space of any other TTF edition and attracting the highest number of exhibitors across the series.
The strong trade participation at TTF Ahmedabad 2026 underlines the industry’s confidence in the upcoming peak travel period and reinforces the importance of Gujarat as a strategic market for domestic and international tourism businesses.
