What Travel Trends Today does

Travel Trends Today (T3) is an India-based B2B trade publication covering the travel and tourism industry, operated by Informa Markets India Pvt Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UK-listed Informa PLC (LSE: INF). Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Andheri East, Mumbai, T3 publishes a monthly print magazine with a circulation of 25,000 copies targeted at travel agents, tour operators, destination management companies (DMCs), and travel management companies (TMCs). The publication has operated for over 40 years and is positioned as a trusted source of independent editorial coverage across aviation, cruises, hotels and resorts, India tourism, international tourism, states, technology, and people segments.

The company's product surface combines a monthly print magazine with a digital news portal (traveltrendstoday.in), webinars, podcasts spanning four seasons, a print archive resource center, and dedicated SATTE exhibition coverage. Underlying technology is a standard web-based content management and digital publishing platform with no disclosed AI, machine learning, or proprietary technical features. Distribution extends across Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, email newsletters, and PR Newswire for press release aggregation.

T3 generates revenue through three primary streams: magazine subscriptions (Rs. 600/year for 12 issues; Rs. 1,100 for 24 issues), advertising and sponsorships from tourism boards, airlines, hotel chains, and travel technology vendors, and event-driven media revenue tied to SATTE and related industry exhibitions. Its competitive position is anchored in brand longevity, deep integration with the Informa Markets travel portfolio (including SATTE, which contributed INR 193 crore in economic impact in 2026), and association partnerships with bodies such as IATO, TAFI, TAAI, FAITH, and PATA.

Emerging players

• Skift: Digital-first B2B travel media platform producing research, news, and events for travel industry executives. Competes with T3 for travel trade readership and advertiser attention with a modern, research-led content and subscription model.
• Condé Nast Traveller India: India edition of a major consumer travel lifestyle publication covering hospitality, destinations, and luxury travel. Partial overlap with T3's tourism and hospitality coverage, though primarily consumer-facing rather than pure trade.
• Tourism Review: Online B2B travel industry news outlet covering destinations, hospitality, and travel trade trends globally. Adjacent competitor for travel trade news readership and digital ad spend that competes with T3's web platform.

Direct peers

• Travel Weekly: Long-established B2B travel trade publication serving travel agents and the broader travel distribution industry in the US/UK. Closest Western analog to T3 in terms of serving travel trade professionals with editorial content, events, and industry data.

• Travel Trade Journal: India-based B2B travel trade publication serving travel agents, tour operators, and hospitality professionals with news and analysis. Most direct competitor to Travel Trends Today in the Indian travel trade media space, with similar print-and-digital hybrid model.
• TTG Asia: Asia-Pacific B2B travel trade title covering travel agents, tour operators, and hospitality across the region. Comparable B2B travel trade media model with news, events, and industry intelligence aimed at the same trade professional readership.
• Hotelier India: India-focused B2B hospitality trade publication covering hotels, resorts, and the broader Indian hospitality industry. Direct overlap with T3 in hotels-and-resorts coverage and shared advertiser base of hotel chains and tourism boards in India.
