The news: The Forum Hotel & Convention has officially opened in Ahmedabad as a 387-room luxury property designed specifically for large-scale corporate events, weddings, and exhibitions. The hotel positions itself as a "hospitality powerhouse" with extensive convention facilities targeting the growing Gujarat MICE market.
Why it matters for MICE operators: Ahmedabad has been gaining traction as a MICE destination, particularly for pharmaceutical, chemical, and textile industry events given Gujarat's industrial base. This new large-format venue adds significant capacity to the city's limited luxury MICE infrastructure. For Indian PCOs and DMCs, this creates new opportunities for clients seeking alternatives to Mumbai's saturated and expensive venue market, especially for multi-day conferences and product launches requiring substantial accommodation blocks.
The takeaway: Evaluate The Forum for clients in pharmaceutical, chemical, and automotive sectors who regularly host events in western India.
