Karnataka International Travel Expo 2025

Karnataka, a land celebrated for its architectural grandeur, rich cultural heritage, breathtaking landscapes, and thriving wildlife, is set to welcome the world to the 2nd edition of the Karnataka International Travel Expo (KITE 2025). Scheduled from February 26 to 28, 2025, in Bengaluru, this event promises to be India’s foremost travel and tourism showcase, bringing together global and domestic stakeholders to explore the diverse tourism opportunities the state has to offer.

Unveiling Karnataka’s Diverse Tourism Potential

Organized by the Karnataka Tourism Society (KTS), KITE 2025 is poised to build on the success of its inaugural edition, which highlighted the state’s unique traditions and cultural diversity. From its ancient temples and royal palaces to serene beaches and lush coffee plantations, Karnataka has emerged as a cherished destination for travelers worldwide. The upcoming edition of KITE aims to further elevate the state’s reputation, positioning it not only as a leisure hotspot but also as a premier MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) destination.

Bengaluru, Karnataka’s cosmopolitan capital, will serve as the epicenter of this grand event. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure, world-class hospitality, and seamless connectivity, the city is an ideal venue to showcase the state’s potential as a hub for business tourism. Additionally, KITE 2025 will emphasize leisure destinations across Karnataka—from the serene backwaters of Kabini to the misty hills of Coorg and the historical wonders of Hampi—as compelling MICE venues.

A Premier Platform for Networking and Collaboration

KITE 2025 is designed as a comprehensive B2B networking platform, bringing together over 150 exhibitors representing Karnataka’s tourism products and services and more than 400 hosted buyers from around the globe. The event’s highlights include:
