This February, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of global discovery as The Gypsy Travel Festival (TGTF), India’s consumer travel showcase, returns with its 4th edition on 7th & 8th February 2026 at Jio World Drive, BKC. Running from 3 PM to 10 PM, TGTF brings together destinations, travel brands, industry experts, and experience-led audiences under one dynamic roof, redefining how Indian travellers discover and plan their holidays.
Founder’s Perspective
“TGTF was created as a space where travel conversations could move beyond brochures and algorithms,” says Lubaina Sheerazi, Co-founder, The Gypsy Travel Network. “Over the years, we’ve seen Indian travellers become more curious, more informed, and far more intentional. This edition reflects that shift, bringing together destinations and brands that offer depth, authenticity, and experiences people genuinely want to engage with before they travel.”
Bringing the World to Mumbai
As India’s appetite for immersive, experience-led travel continues to surge, TGTF has evolved into a platform that brings global cultures, conversations, and journeys directly to Indian audiences.
This year’s edition features powerful destination-led storytelling and immersive showcases, including:
- Amazing Thailand, presented in partnership with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, spotlighting culture-rich cities, island escapes, wellness journeys, festivals, and emerging sustainable routes.
- Visit Sapporo, showcasing Hokkaido’s snow landscapes, world-class produce, hot springs, and seasonal adventures.
- Magical Kenya, presented by Kenya Tourism Board, highlighting coastline, cities, and experiences beyond safaris and wildlife.
Destination Insight
June Chepkemei, CEO, Kenya Tourism Board, said, “Kenya and India share a natural affinity rooted in connectivity, cultural appreciation, and a mutual understanding of quality travel experiences.”
She added that engaging Indian travellers in Mumbai helps present Kenya’s full spectrum of offerings in ways that inspire genuine interest and action.
