OTOAI recently organised a 'Members Meet' in Mumbai in association with the Saudi Tourism Authority
President of the Outbound Tour Operators Association of India (OTOAI), a leading travel trade association entirely focused on outbound tourism from India, Riaz Munshi says it is the constant endeavour of the association to create greater awareness amongst the members about new and trending destinations overseas.
In this context, the association recently organised a ‘Members Meet’ in Mumbai in association with the Saudi Tourism Authority. The meeting was attended by close to 200 members. According to a press release, the event proved to be an excellent platform not only for OTOAl members to know about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as an upcoming destination for leisure travel, but also a quality networking of travel trade.
The event was supported by Saudi Tourism Authority India team which presented the destination with all new dimensions about the Kingdom and educated the travel fraternity on various aspects of Saudis culture, adventure, heritage, cuisine and much more. Saudi Arabia has immense potential to attract tourist in the coming years and it has some mega projects coming up like Red Sea and Amaala in 2023. The destination presentation was followed by interesting Q&A followed by an interactive quiz, says the statement.
‘‘We are an Association committed to improving our members’ knowledge and expertise and at the same time intend to provide exposure to new and trending outbound destinations from India. Saudi Tourism Authority has always been a religious destination for Indians but now it has emerged as a brilliant tourism destination in the Middle East region. We are happy with our partnership with Saudi Arabia and the success of the event has proved that it was indeed a mutually beneficial partnership,” says Riaz Munshi.
