Andhra Pradesh – ADTOI National Tourism Mart to be Held in Visakhapatnam
The Association of Domestic Tour Operators of India (ADTOI), in collaboration with the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Authority (APTA), has postponed the Andhra Pradesh Tourism-ADTOI National Tourism Mart 2025 (APTM), originally scheduled to be held from September 17 to 19, 2025, in Visakhapatnam. The much-anticipated event has now been rescheduled to February 13–14, 2026, with the venue remaining unchanged in Visakhapatnam.
The decision to postpone the annual convention follows an official communication from the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Authority, citing unavoidable reasons. Considering the significance of the Mart as a flagship event for India’s domestic tourism sector and the importance of ensuring participation from the highest levels of the Andhra Pradesh State Government, ADTOI and APTA mutually decided to reschedule the event to a later date.
ADTOI President and senior members of the organizing committee emphasized that the rescheduling aims to create a larger, more impactful platform that truly reflects the tourism diversity and investment opportunities within Andhra Pradesh. The 2026 edition is expected to see greater participation from domestic tour operators, state tourism boards, and allied stakeholders from across India.
“The Andhra Pradesh–ADTOI National Tourism Mart will now be organized on a much grander scale in February 2026,” said an ADTOI spokesperson. “The new dates will allow us to enhance participation, extend better logistical support, and ensure that the event serves as a true showcase of Andhra Pradesh’s growing tourism potential.”
The Mart will bring together leading tour operators, travel agents, hoteliers, airlines, and state tourism officials from across the country. It will feature B2B meetings, knowledge sessions, cultural showcases, and destination familiarization trips around Visakhapatnam and nearby tourism circuits such as Araku Valley and Lambasingi. For participants who have already registered and paid their fees, ADTOI has confirmed that all payments will be carried forward and adjusted against the rescheduled event.
The Andhra Pradesh–ADTOI National Tourism Mart is a joint initiative designed to boost domestic tourism, encourage interstate collaboration, and promote lesser-explored destinations within Andhra Pradesh. The 2026 edition aims to serve as a strategic platform for forging partnerships, exchanging ideas, and positioning the state as one of India’s premier tourism destinations.
