Minor Hotels, a global hotel operator with over 550 properties across 56 countries, recently completed a successful roadshow in India, spanning Mumbai, Delhi, and Ahmedabad. Held from October 21 to 25, 2024, the roadshow allowed Minor Hotels to introduce unique travel experiences to Indian travel agents, wedding planners, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) companies.

Representatives from 26 Minor Hotels properties in the Middle East, Europe, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Mauritius joined the event to network with India’s top travel professionals. Over 400 Indian companies participated, engaging in discussions about travel trends, product offerings, and experiences curated specifically for the Indian market.
