If you've got GDAL, you should be able to use ogr2ogr for this.
Depending on what you've installed you can use one of the following drivers

Hi, 

 

If you are using MapInfo Pro, you can very easily convert the tab files in to GML using the  Universal Translator tool. For converting to a KML format we have the Google Earth utility which can export these tab files to KML extension files. To read more about using Universal Translator, have a look at this article: https://li360.pitneybowes.com/s/article/ka180000000Cv8yAAC/MapInfo-Professional-How-to-use-the-Universal-Translator

Thanks, 

Shweta

I use QGIS to convert .tab files to .kml.  It is an extremely straightforward process: Layer>Add Layer>Add Vector Layer.../Browse/Open/Layer>Save As.../Browse + Select fields to export and their export options/OK.

I typically just use Google Earth Pro, since its free and can open Mapinfo Tables directly. I just open the tables in GE Pro then save as KMZ.
