The news: New Delhi has been chosen to host the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) Global Summit in 2027, after the destination was selected from 21 competing cities. The announcement was made during WTTC's 2026 Global Summit in Malta. The annual summit brings together CEOs, government ministers, and travel industry leaders from around the globe.
Why it matters for MICE operators: This is a major win for India's MICE infrastructure and global positioning. The WTTC Global Summit will attract 500+ senior travel industry delegates to Delhi, creating demand for premium hotel rooms, venues, ground transportation, and ancillary services. Delhi-based PCOs, DMCs, and hotels should begin preparing proposals now — catering, registration, logistics, and networking events will all need specialist planning. The summit is also a platform to showcase India's hospitality capabilities to international MICE buyers.
The takeaway: Delhi-based MICE operators should register with WTTC and the event's official PCO now to bid for contracts and ground services.
