Capitalizing on the Massive Outbound Travel Market From India, the MILT Congress Gathered Industry's Movers and Shakers in Mumbai and Delhi
August 9, 2018
Business Wire IndiaThe 6th annual of the MICE India & Luxury Travel Congress successfully concluded last week highlighting the importance of “experiential travel” while emphasizing on personalization, value-for-money, creativity and innovation as business game-changers. This years’ annual saw business at an all-time high with handpicked MICE & luxury travel buyers from across India, world class suppliers and more than 20 hours of networking, thus making it one of a kind platform, carefully curated for organizers of MICE, business & luxury travel, as well as destination weddings and film production houses.
The Mumbai edition opened its doors with a keynote session by Bo Kruger, Europe’s leading meeting designer and innovator, renowned for developing Denmark’s famous Meetovation meeting design concept. He opened the congress with his presentation on “360 degree perspective of MICE” that emphasized on why MICE organizers should break the script, innovate and use gamification as a tool to create exceptional experiences whereas the Delhi edition kick started with a powerful session by Middle Easts’ prominent motivational speaker, Kevin Abdulrahman who highlighted the continuous journey of leadership.
In addition, to the unconventional conference program, the MILT Congress provided buyers with a personalized schedule of one to one meetings with a handpicked selection of leading suppliers. Both the Mumbai & Delhi edition delivered more than 4000 mutually matched and pre-selected meeting appointments over the two power-packed days.
Elaborating on the seamless business that the MILT Congress facilitates, Stephanie Tanpure, VP Sales, Sands Resorts Macao, our Platinum partner said, "I must say that the organization of MILT in India is second to none. What brings us back to MILT is not only the impeccable organization of the trade show but it’s the caliber of the buyers and the relationships they can bring to the table."
Speaking on the diverse range of destinations represented at the congress, Sidh N.C., Director, QNA International LLC commented, that "There is diversification in the outbound MICE and luxury venues and facilities. A growing demand for MICE events as well as luxury weddings to be held in distinctive, offbeat venues with a range of entertainment and activities. The MILT Congress is an ideal opportunity for global travel and tourism players to tap into the diverse trends and growth drivers shaping India’s outbound MICE and luxury travel industry."
India’s booming travel and tourism sector is estimated to generate 6.5 million outbound luxury and MICE tourist annually by 2020 and MILT Congress has become the biggest platform for suppliers around the world looking to capitalize on the market.
