The summit will highlight the spirit of competitive federalism among states that are playing to their strengths. From heritage tourism in Ladakh to wildlife parks, religious destinations and historic sites in Madhya Pradesh, from the epic battle centres of Haryana to the unusual surprises offered by Chhattisgarh, the Tourism Summit 2026 will showcase the best of India.
The tourism summit will also hear from travel influencers; musicians who are discovering new public spaces for their performances; a senior travel executive who specializes in marketing spiritual destinations; and a veteran archivist who made Chennai her home 56 years ago.
