Spiritual tourism will form a key focus, highlighting sacred destinations including Ayodhya, Varanasi, Prayagraj and Mathura-Vrindavan.

The state's growing experiential tourism offerings will also be highlighted, including nature and wildlife experiences, wellness tourism, traditional crafts, cuisine and distinctive cultural journeys. Visitors will have an opportunity to discover Perfume Tourism in Kannauj, widely known as the Perfume capital of India, where the centuries-old deg-bhapka technique of natural fragrance-making continues to preserve a remarkable living tradition.

Uttar Pradesh's rich culinary heritage, traditional crafts and performing arts will further add to the showcase, offering international visitors an insight into the diverse experiences that extend across the state.

Strengthening Global Tourism Partnerships

Business-to-business engagement will be a central component of Uttar Pradesh's participation at WTM London 2026. The exhibition will provide opportunities to engage with international tour operators, travel agents, destination management companies and other key travel industry stakeholders.
