Tamil Nadu Tourism is participating in the ITB Berlin 2026, held from 3 to 5 March, to promote its rich cultural heritage and diverse tourism offerings. The southern Indian state, known for its ancient temples and vibrant cultural heritage, seeks to attract German travellers, who have shown a keen interest in cultural and eco-tourism.
The Commissioner of Tourism and Managing Director of Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation, J. Innocent Divya, highlighted the importance of the event, stating, “Tamil Nadu Tourism is actively participating in ITB, Berlin consistently over the years understanding its growing demand and potential for inbound tourism.” A dedicated pavilion will showcase the state's offerings and foster partnerships to attract investments in tourism.
