“IATO must be a platform for all members, whether they are small, mid-size, or large tour operators. Unfortunately, creating digital marketing tools for members never received the priority it deserved, and today, this has become the need of the hour. If members trust us and give us the opportunity to manage IATO’s affairs, we plan to – launch a new IATO website focused on unified India Inbound promotion with member listings; collaborate with digital influencers for global campaigns; use AI-based tools and data analytics to study tourist trends and share reports with members and set up the ‘IATO Innovation Hub’ for digital tools, AI integration, and training modules.”
