Race for IATO President: Presidential candidates reveal key agendas
As a Presidential candidate for IATO, my vision is to strengthen government coordination for member-centric policies, promote India overseas through strategic partnerships and digitally empower our membership and chapters through a portal. I aim for stronger regional chapters create value for them through members B2B meets and virtual networking while driving capacity building and skill development programs for their professional growth. I also propose forming a policy and advocacy cell or a high-power think tank to represent our collective interests and draft a paper for overall growth of inbound tourism. Together, we will build a progressive, inclusive, and tech-driven IATO that creates real value for the members and positions India as a premier global travel destination.
