Tourism India Alliance (TIA) announces the next edition of its flagship event Tourism Exchange (TEX 2027) will be held from 7th to 9th January 2027 at the magnificent Mayfair Lake Resort, Raipur.
Expected to bring together more than 350 delegates and 50+ exhibitors from India and overseas, TEX 2027 will serve as a dynamic platform for tourism professionals to connect, learn, collaborate, and explore new business opportunities across the tourism ecosystem.
“The selection of Mayfair Lake Resort adds a special dimension to the event. Widely regarded as one of the most iconic hospitality destinations in Central India, the resort is a destination in its own right. Set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens and overlooking serene banks of Jhanjh Lake, Mayfair offers a unique blend of luxury, nature, and world-class convention facilities, creating the perfect environment for networking and relationship building.” – Ritesh Mundhra, Chairman – TEX 2027 Organising Committee.
“TEX 2027 is being designed around a simple yet powerful vision: to showcase the tourism potential of the entire state of Chhattisgarh, not just its capital city.” – Mukesh Jain, EVP – TIA. “Most industry events introduce delegates to a venue or a city. Our objective is larger. We want every delegate attending TEX 2027 to leave with a deeper understanding of Chhattisgarh as a tourism destination and discover experiences they can confidently promote to their clients,” he added.
To achieve this, Tourism India Alliance is curating a series of exclusive destination familiarisation programmes that will take delegates beyond Raipur and into some of the state’s most fascinating tourism circuits.
Pre-Event Familiarisation Tours (6–7 January 2027)
Sirpur & Barnawapara, Heritage meets Wildlife – A journey through the ancient archaeological treasures of Sirpur combined with the wilderness experience of Barnawapara.
Bhoramdeo & Saroda Dadar, Temples, Nature & Adventure – Exploring Chhattisgarh’s cultural heritage alongside its emerging eco-tourism and adventure offerings.
The Temple Trail, Spirituality & Pilgrimage – A specially curated circuit showcasing some of the state’s significant religious and spiritual destinations.
Post-Event Familiarisation Tour (9–11 January 2027)
Bastar – Crown jewel of Chhattisgarh tourism
Bastar offers an extraordinary mix of tribal heritage, natural beauty, waterfalls, forests, handicrafts, culture, and adventure. The region continues to be one of India’s most authentic and least-explored tourism experiences. “By combining business networking with destination discovery, TEX 2027 aims to create lasting value for both delegates and destinations. The event will provide opportunities for travel professionals to build partnerships, gain fresh insights, and explore emerging tourism products while experiencing first hand the diversity that Chhattisgarh has to offer.” – Jagdeep Bhagat, President – TIA.
Registrations for TEX 2027 are expected to open shortly, with further announcements regarding exhibitors, hosted buyers, sponsorship opportunities, and delegate participation to follow.
