The World of Hospitality Expo 2025 is set to take place from August 10 to 12, 2025, at the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium in Panaji, Goa. Touted as a transformative platform for India’s travel and tourism ecosystem, the event is expected to gather over 150 exhibitors and 3,000 industry professionals, including hotel owners, travel agents, restaurateurs, hospitality tech innovators, real estate developers, and global investors. With a strong focus on business networking, innovation, and sustainable practices, the expo aims to drive long-term growth across the hospitality value chain.
The decision to host the event in Goa reflects the state’s strong tourism appeal and infrastructure readiness. Known for its blend of leisure and business travel opportunities, Goa provides a vibrant backdrop for high-level engagements. Organizers aim to use the platform to promote off-season tourism, encourage investments in tier-2 and tier-3 destinations, and enable collaborations that boost employment and local enterprise.
A key feature of the expo is its curated B2B meeting scheduler, which will allow buyers and suppliers to connect in pre-fixed appointments. Alongside this, the event will showcase the latest in AI-powered hotel services, virtual reality experiences, green construction solutions, and sustainable F&B practices. A dedicated startup pavilion will give emerging brands a chance to pitch their ideas to investors and industry leaders, further nurturing India’s growing hospitality entrepreneurship space.
Beyond the exhibition floor, attendees will benefit from engaging panel discussions on trending topics such as wellness tourism, boutique travel, and digital transformation in hospitality. Government bodies, policy think tanks, and international tourism boards are also expected to participate, underlining the event’s strategic significance. On the cultural front, the expo will include experiential elements like local culinary showcases, art installations, and heritage walks allowing delegates to interact with Goa’s rich traditions while supporting local artisans and small businesses.
By combining innovation, inclusivity, and immersive engagement, the World of Hospitality Expo 2025 positions itself as a landmark event in India’s journey to becoming a global tourism powerhouse.
