With nature’s fury reminding us of our fragility, the industry has been sitting cautiously tight, yet with strong hope and anticipation for a robust business season ahead. Optimism, after all, is what has always driven our fraternity forward.
In this September issue of BOTT, which will also enjoy additional circulation at the TAAI Convention in Abu Dhabi, we bring you exclusive and insightful stories tailored for the occasion. We spoke to Sunil Kumar, President of TAAI, to understand his perspective on the upcoming convention, followed by candid interactions with a few MC members and other TAAI members, gathering their views, aspirations, and expectations from this much-awaited global gathering.
Beyond TAAI, we present an exclusive interview with Brand USA’s Jackie Ennis, who highlights India’s growing importance as one of the fastest-expanding markets for the United States, now ranking #2 among overseas visitors.
We also feature exhaustive coverage of two marquee industry events – ITB India in Mumbai and the IATO Convention in Odisha – both of which witnessed remarkable participation and outcomes. Adding to this, you will find first-hand coverage of exciting FAM trips, including the Andaman Mega Fam for inbound agents and the Thailand showcase, alongside curated reports on several noteworthy events that took place across the country.
As always, our endeavour remains to bring you stories that inform, inspire, and empower the travel trade community. Here’s wishing all readers a fruitful convention season ahead.
Happy Reading!
