“Our mandate at IATO is to promote Tier II and Tier III cities, as we feel they hold immense tourism potential. Aurangabad at one point in time used to attract many tourists but somehow lost its charm in the last few years. With the 38th IATO Annual Convention, our aim is to revive Inbound Tourism to Aurangabad. For 2024 also, we have also finalised yet another Tier II city for the Convention, which we cannot disclose now. I, along with my IATO team, are working hard to make this Convention a success.”
