The Nepal Tourism Board (NTB) has strengthened engagement with key stakeholders from India’s travel, corporate, MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions), and wedding tourism sectors by participating in MTM and LLTM 2026 held in New Delhi.
The event took place at Pullman New Delhi Aerocity on Jan 8–9, where the board participated as a focus partner. During the programme, NTB presented Nepal’s potential as a destination for corporate events, incentive travel, conferences, and wedding tourism, with India positioned as a priority source market.
According to the organisers, the Jan 9 program functioned as a decision-focused and targeted networking platform, bringing together selected corporate buyers, established brands, and senior industry leaders. Discussions focused on evolving priorities in tourism and the MICE sector through structured and forward-looking interactions.
A key feature of the event was the “reverse marketplace” format, which facilitated one-on-one meetings between buyers and sellers. NTB stated that this platform enabled direct engagement with Indian corporate and MICE decision-makers, helping to expand business linkages and strengthen confidence in Nepal as a destination.
Through destination presentations, the board promoted Nepal as an attractive option for incentive travel, conferences, experiential travel, and festival- and celebration-focused tourism. Citing India as Nepal’s leading tourist source market, NTB Chief Executive Officer Deepak Raj Joshi said such strategic participation is expected to support long-term tourism growth.
On the second day, the “MTM Star Awards for Wedding Planners” recognised organisations for excellence in India’s wedding and celebration economy. On this occasion, Nepal highlighted its growing presence in wedding and destination celebration tourism and expressed optimism about further expansion in this segment.
According to the Nepal Tourism Board, participation in targeted international platforms such as MTM and LLTM 2026 is expected to further strengthen tourism cooperation with India and contribute to positioning Nepal as an emerging destination for corporate, MICE, and wedding tourism.
