13th Annual MICE India and Luxury Travel (MILT) Congress 2026 Returns to Goa on 23–24 July 2026 Panaji (Goa) [India], May 25: India is emerging as one of the most influential growth engines in global travel. With Indian travellers spending more, travelling further, and seeking deeper, experience-led journeys, the country is rapidly reshaping the future of MICE, luxury, corporate, and experiential travel worldwide. Against this backdrop, QnA International has announced the 13th Annual MICE India & Luxury Travel (MILT) Congress 2026, taking place on 23–24 July 2026 at ITC Grand Goa, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa. Recognised as one of India’s leading MICE and luxury travel platforms, the MILT Congress connects tourism boards, hospitality brands, airlines, destinations, DMCs, and travel innovators with influential travel decision-makers from across the Indian market. India’s travel market is projected to reach 50 million travellers by 2030, while luxury and business travel spending is expected to grow at 12–15% CAGR. The Indian MICE segment alone is forecast to touch USD 9 billion — positioning India at the centre of global travel growth. As competition for the Indian traveller intensifies, visibility alone is no longer enough. Success now depends on meaningful partnerships, curated engagement, and measurable business outcomes. This is where the MILT Congress stands apart. Designed as a high-value, exclusive, by invitation-only business platform rather than a traditional networking event, MILT Congress delivers pre-qualified buyers, pre-scheduled meetings, strategic networking, and insight-led discussions that drive real commercial opportunities. The 2026 edition is expected to host 150+ high-value buyers and 40+ global luxury travel and hospitality brands, with over 2,000 pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings across the two-day event. The agenda will spotlight the future of luxury and experiential travel, including evolving traveller behaviour, wellness tourism, personalised experiences, destination competitiveness, technology integration, and large-scale incentive travel. Speaking about the upcoming annual, Sidh NC, Director, QnA International, said: “India is no longer a market the world can afford to watch from the sidelines. It is a primary driver of global travel growth. MILT Congress was created to give the industry direct, strategic access to India’s most influential travel buyers through meaningful business conversations and long-term partnerships.” Over the years, MILT Congress has evolved into one of India’s most influential B2B travel platforms, bringing together global tourism leaders, luxury hotel groups, convention bureaus, private aviation companies, travel technology brands, and corporate travel decision-makers within one curated ecosystem. As India continues to redefine MICE and luxury travel globally, MILT Congress 2026 is set to further strengthen its position as a definitive gateway to one of the world’s fastest-growing travel markets.
