The two-day virtual event saw the participation of 250+ outbound professionals. They ensured 350+ pre-scheduled meetings and 1710 contacts exchanged.
During the most challenging year gone by, AVIAREPS decided to make use of digital tools such as a 3D virtual platform so as to allow for interactions and business exchanges to take place, thereby keeping our industry connected.
“The maiden virtual edition of AVIAREPS INDIA TRAVEL CONNECT is a clear indication that it is time for us to shift gears and focus on development and continuity of business. And, while it is the first of its kind in India, I hope all the attendees benefit from the interesting discussions and virtual connections during these two days which we will soon transform into face-to-face encounters in the near immediate future”, stated Ellona Pereira, Head, AVIAREPS India.
Artur Perekhod, Head of Department for International Affairs, Moscow Project Office for Tourism and Hospitality Development concluded “We are extremely interested into strengthening the dialogue between the travel industries of Moscow and India because India demonstrated amazing outbound tourism market growth before the global pandemic. That is why it is important for us to participate in events like AVIAREPS India Travel Connect, especially now. It allows us to talk about our new travel products and makes it possible to find potential partners despite the current restrictions. We are confident that these virtual roadshows will help Moscow attract new flows of tourists from India and present our city as a safe, vibrant and dynamic destination.”
Pieter Callebaut, International Development Leisure summarised, “India has and will always continue to be an important source market for Belgium. We were extremely happy to participate at the AVIAREPS India Travel Connect as it was an amazing opportunity to have our key partners in Brussels to connect with the Indian outbound travel trade professionals in times of global travel restrictions Needless to mention that the feedback from our partners with the event has been very positive and overwhelmed with the enthusiasm of the Indian Travel Trade to re-ravel to Europe when possible. We look forward to welcoming the Indian outbound travellers to Brussels as soon as the situation permits.”
“St. Petersburg Convention Bureau was delighted to see such an amazing interest towards the destination among the representatives of tourism community in India and we are looking forward to further strengthen our cooperation”, stated Asya Sattarova, Events & Exhibitions Department, Saint Petersburg Convention Bureau
