Background

Travel And Tour World was founded in Kolkata, India by Anup Kumar Keshan, who has led the publication as CEO and Editor-in-Chief throughout its existence and has more than 23 years of travel-media experience. The outlet established itself as a B2B trade media platform beginning around 2009, when it began building formal media-partnership agreements with international travel trade events. It now claims to serve as an official media partner for more than 1,200 travel trade shows globally, including major events such as ITB Berlin, WTM London, and ATM Dubai. The publication reports it reaches over 23 million monthly readers across 195 countries, with the United States listed as its largest single market. Revenue comes from B2B advertising, sponsored content (marketed as 'article marketing'), and promotional media packages sold to tourism boards, airlines, hotels, and technology companies. No major editorial controversies or significant ownership changes have been documented in available public records. As a trade publication, TTW's editorial perspective consistently aligns with the interests of global travel-industry growth; its coverage of the second Trump administration has centered on documenting the 'Trump Slump'—a measurable decline in international arrivals and tourism spending in the United States attributed to restrictive visa, immigration, and tariff policies—using an industry-impact frame rather than an explicitly partisan one.
