#First Opinion
“We are thrilled to host the 6th OTOAI Convention in the vibrant city of Moscow from July 10–12, followed by a FAM trip to the majestic St. Petersburg. This marks a renewed focus on a historically strong travel partnership, in line with the long-standing friendly ties between India and Russia. The response has been phenomenal, with nearly 205 delegates confirmed, including over 10 from the travel trade media—unfortunately, we had to turn away many due to limited capacity. With simplified post-pandemic visa processes, we aim to rediscover Russia’s immense leisure and MICE potential for Indian outbound travel.”
