Dear Industry Colleagues,
February is truly the month where the travel trade calendar comes alive with energy, ambition and opportunity. The year’s networking momentum begins with OTM in Mumbai and reaches its grand culmination at SATTE in New Delhi — two powerful platforms where the entire travel and tourism fraternity comes together under one roof. From fresh partnerships and promising collaborations to meaningful dialogue and high-value business deals, this is a month of constant movement, vibrant exchanges and renewed synergies. For travel professionals across sectors, February is nothing short of a busy, exciting sprint into the heart of the industry’s new year.
In this special February issue of BOTT – Business of Travel Trade, we bring our readers a curated overview of destinations that are perfectly suited for the new-age traveller — those seeking immersive, experience-driven journeys, authentic cultural encounters and offbeat adventures. From emerging Indian gems to international hotspots redefining travel, these destinations reflect the evolving aspirations of today’s explorers.
Alongside destination inspiration, this edition features exclusive interviews with key voices shaping the future of tourism. We present insights from Tourism Minister Omar Abdullah, along with perspectives from industry veterans who continue to guide the sector with experience, vision and resilience.
A major highlight of this issue is our exhaustive coverage of Brand USA Travel Week in Bengaluru — a landmark event that reinforced the growing tourism bridge between India and the United States, opening new avenues for outbound and inbound growth.
As always, BOTT remains committed to bringing you stories that inform, inspire and connect the travel trade community.
Read all this and much more in our February issue — your companion to a dynamic month of business, networking and travel transformation.
