The heart of India recently came alive with culture, excitement, and heritage as Madhya Pradesh hosted its annual Travel Mart 2025 in Bhopal. People traveled from all corners of the world to see and experience the state’s purpose of supporting sustainable tourism, heritage tourism experiences, and luxury tourism. From interactive booth experiences to cultural showcases, the mart introduced guests to the incredible traditions and modern experiences that make Madhya Pradesh a destination to visit.
While guests enjoyed the experience of this beautiful state, they could truly appreciate history by staying at heritage properties. Heritage hotels in Madhya Pradesh provide an immersive experience with a combination of royal architecture and modern comforts. Guests will experience elegance and charm through lovely rooms and traditional cuisine while exploring curated experiences that celebrate the region’s heritage, all while enjoying accommodations that ensure modern comfort.
The Madhya Pradesh Travel Mart attracted more than 100 international tour operators and domestic delegates, alongside hoteliers and investors, providing an ideal platform to discuss the cultural and natural offerings of the state. Some discussions revolved around eco-tourism, adventure circuits, and heritage conservation. For travelers, this is an invitation to explore off-the-beaten-path historic forts and temples that narrate the stories of India’s royal heritage.
Heritage accommodations play a sophisticated and vital role in the tourism ecosystem. Choosing to stay at historically rich locations such as Umaid Bhawan allows travelers to engage with the unique narratives that enhance their core tourism experience. These locations offer a respite from a busy day of sightseeing or cultural immersion, or perhaps a glimpse into royal lifestyles while remaining connected to the local landscape.
Madhya Pradesh is additionally developing new tourism infrastructure to enhance the travel experience. New helicopter options across major circuits, luxury tent cities near wildlife reserves, and upgraded amenities at historic sites cater to a more diverse traveler than historically seen. However, despite these new experiences, the charm of heritage hotels will keep travelers connected to the heart and soul of the state. A complete list of selected properties can be found on Historic Stays 101’s Madhya Pradesh hotels.
Travel Mart events showcase not only business opportunities but also cultural preservation. They encourage travelers to venture beyond mainstream sites, exhibit hospitality, or stay in heritage accommodations, contributing to the sustainability of historic sites for future visitors.
In a state that seamlessly combines centuries-old traditions with modern amenities, planning a trip turns into a journey through time—from majestic forts and serene palaces to curated cultural experiences, Madhya Pradesh beckons travelers to immerse themselves fully.
