In a communiqué released by the association to its members, it has further informed that registration for delegates will be rolled out soon. The convention is designed to be numbers restricted.
The Executive Committee of TAAI suggests that the industry stakeholders who are looking forward to learning; networking; exploring; connecting to situations and people beyond their current, must immediately plan their participation and not miss out from exciting and momentous opportunity.
The close proximity of Sri Lanka and the opportunity to promote regional tourism is the need of the hour to strengthen bi-lateral relations, develop trade, investments and tourism, to experience the serene beauty of an evolving destination like Colombo, Sri Lanka.
It is further informed that the Convention would be rich in its content as well as in offering experiential take home to our delegates. The content would focus on the importance of a ‘New Rising’ post Covid and the urgent need for members to rise beyond the challenges.
The Convention will also focus on B2B meeting with over 100 local stakeholders over the region, the valuable opportunity to collaborate for trade & business, with the fast-growing Indian outbound Industry, and to promote India as well.
Evenings will be class apart; post tours will be plenty and above all the attendees will be offered luxurious hospitality enriched with networking.
