Logistics Tips for Mumbai MICE Events
- Traffic: Mumbai traffic is notoriously unpredictable. Book venues near your hotel cluster — BKC or airport belt is the safest bet
- Monsoon season (Jun-Sep): Avoid outdoor events. Indoor venues with good drainage are essential
- Airport proximity: For fly-in conferences, ITC Maratha and The Leela are walkable from T2
- F&B considerations: Mumbai is cosmopolitan — always offer vegetarian, Jain, and halal options
- Transport: Pre-book AC buses from a reliable fleet operator. Ola/Uber surge pricing during peak hours can blow budgets
