Tourism is not just an activity that gives feel good factor and lifelong memories to traveller, but it brings two destinations, cultures and its people closer. Apart from generating employment and foreign exchange earnings, tourism encourages better co-operation and exchange of business in various segments between two countries. Travel and tourism is an incredible opportunity of invaluable value for the whole World. It is far beyond a mere ‘industry’. It is more. It is an enterprise that offers myriad advantages for everyone involved to expand their horizon; beat the limits and optimize this important activity.
While elaborating on the theme of the convention, Sunil Kumar, President TAAI said, “Tourism brings the world together. It is a pursuit people inhabit and an ongoing quest that supports business; leisure and discovery. Over 1.3 billion international arrivals during 2016 is an astounding economic impact. Nations thrive on Tourism. Many jobs are created. The global economic bandwidth is fascinating.”
For the nations of the world, tourism can be beyond any political; diplomatic or economic boundaries. Tourism is an important forerunner of peace and education. “TAAI Convention in Kunming, China, is a significant tourism connect. Two large nations are associated with this event. The Convention encourages delegates to discover a great destination with great sights in close proximity, says TAAI President.
Giving more details about the Convention Sanjay Narula, Vice President & Co-Chairman Convention says, “TAAI Conventions are hallmark when it comes to create new products and services and this convention is no different from other conventions of TAAI. This is the first time in the 68 years of TAAI history, when the association is going to China for its Annual Convention and Exhibition. This is an in-house convention and all our delegates – about 550 till date, will be staying in this hotel.”
While giving more details about the much awaited event of TAAI, he further said that the invitation (to hold the convention) was formalised, almost an year ago, and TAAI is delighted that the most beautiful city with outstanding attractions and nearby locations like Dali and Lijiang will be the host city of the convention. “Yunnan Provincial Tourism Development Commission is actively associated and playing a huge role to ensure success of the Convention,” added Sanjay Narula.
“The convention shall focus its discussions on the massive prospects to help upgrade and go beyond. The goal is clear. Travel and tourism leaders must accomplish higher levels of innovation and newer approaches to bust the paradigms that serve as boundaries for people from going beyond,” adds Sunil Kumar.
