One day shift in the ITB India dates


MUMBAI, 16 March 2026: ITB India 2026 will convene from Tuesday, 1 September to Thursday, 3 September at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, bringing together professionals from the MICE, Leisure, Corporate, and Travel Technology sectors in a single marketplace. 

The event was previously scheduled for 2 to 4 September, with the third day of the show coinciding with the national holiday on Friday, 4 September, that marks Janmashtami (the birth of Lord Krishna). It is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in India. It is classified as a Gazetted Holiday by the Central Government, meaning most government offices, schools, and banks across the country will be closed.
