After aggressive bidding by the Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO) and the Government of India, the U.S. Tour Operators’ Association (USTOA) finally returned to India after 15 long years for its annual Out of Country meeting. Since this was an industry-wide event, the core objective was to showcase destination India to all the USA Tour Operators.
The Taj Group co-hosted a grand silver-service sit-down dinner with a unique, especially crafted menu at Taj Palace, Delhi. In addition to the USTOA members and key Indian Travel Trade, the evening also saw Parvez Dewan, Secretary of Tourism, in attendance.
The Jaipur leg of the three-city meet was hosted at the magnificent Rambagh Palace, where the group was received with a spectacular traditional welcome complete with liveried royal horses and elephants with their trunks raised in grand salute. Jai Mahal Palace too, hosted an exquisite and unique evening for the USTOA team. The event showcased a spectacular Elephant Polo performance followed by dinner, which was attended by Maharaja Jai Singhji and Rani Vidya Devi.
