We are happy to be here to participate because, this is the right place, where we can meet other travel agents, so it is a warm-up, and we have business exchanges and even for the clients for those who want to connect directly. They also can. Because we all are government authorized companies. Also, Ahmedabad is considered an excellent market for Nepalis. So we are here for that.” said Sharmila KV Kafle, Managing Director, Apoorva Tours and Travels, Nepal.

Thousands of people have been passing by, meeting us, and taking information from us, asking for what are the products, what is India tourism, the ministry of tourism doing for the brand. And in a way, we are trying to sell India tourism. Apart from giving information, we are giving approvals of India tourism to these travel agents, tour operators. So here, they get in Touch with all this information. And they are happy about it. It’s been a wonderful experience. And we wish them a success in the coming year also.”

The good part of the TTF was that they had used QR codes for entry, and battery cars for guest from the entrance gate to the exhibition hall. It is one of the very well managed expos experienced in Ahmedabad.
