Highlighting the importance of Ahmedabad, Mr. Sanjiv Agarwal, Chairman & CEO, Fairfest Media, said, “A strong economy, rising disposable incomes and an exceptionally travel-active population make Gujarat one of India’s leading travel source markets.

That is why TTF Ahmedabad has grown into the largest show in the TTF series, drawing more exhibitors than any other TTF we organise. For destinations, tourism boards and travel brands, it offers the most concentrated and efficient access to Western India’s travel trade ahead of the festive and winter travel season.”

Western India’s Travel Demand Takes Centre Stage

Ahmedabad continues to play an important role in Western India’s travel economy, supported by Gujarat’s strong business environment, active travel trade network, and rising demand for domestic and international holidays. This growth is reflected in the city’s expanding aviation footprint, with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport handling over 1.38 crore passengers during FY 2025–26, including 1.14 crore domestic and 24 lakh international travellers.

Supporting this momentum, TTF Ahmedabad 2026 brings destinations and travel brands closer to travel buyers from Gujarat and neighbouring Western Indian markets. With its focus on B2B networking, destination promotion, and business development, the event offers a platform to engage one of India’s most commercially active travel regions.
