The MICE India & Luxury Travel Congress (MILT)—India’s premier and most influential platform for MICE and luxury travel—is set to return for its 12th Annual Edition on July 24–25, 2025, at the Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon. Recognized as the only event of its kind in India, MILT brings together the country’s top corporate buyers and the world’s leading travel and hospitality brands in a business-driven, invitation-only environment.
“India is one of the world’s fastest-growing outbound travel markets, with 50 million travelers expected by 2030,” said Sidh NC, Director, QnA International, organizers of MILT. “As the global luxury travel market heads towards $1.2 trillion by 2028, India is emerging as a key driver. Spending on luxury and business travel is increasing by 12–15% annually, with a surge in demand for unique experiences, incentive travel, and executive retreats. An overwhelming 65% of Indian luxury travelers seek experiences that ‘wow’ them, while 70% prioritize personalized, sustainable, and digital-first solutions. These trends align perfectly with MILT’s continued growth, driven by powerful partnerships and expert-led sessions. With Indian outbound travel up 50% year-on-year and the MICE market expected to reach $9 billion by 2025, MILT 2025 is set to deliver unparalleled value and insight.”
