We have been participating in TTF New Delhi since nine years. We are attending TTF
exhibition all across India and of course we wish to see them expanding their wings out of India as well. We have taken appointments in advance regarding
some discussion and it came out with so many expectations from our company, half of them are our partners and half are new to us.

TTF New Delhi is a platform where we meet domestic tour operators. Although our

numbers of domestic tour operators who promised us to do something good for our location.

TTF New Delhi is a very good show for Thailand to participate. Normally, we participate in other
TTFs and OTM, but this is our first year in TTF New Delhi. We are very happy to be in TTF New Delhi promoting Discover Thainess 2015 Year. We are
getting more exposure and very good networking facility with buyer and media attending TTF New Delhi.

TTF should be widely spread across the country, as the opportunities are endless. We want to
support this event in a greater way as this will enable in a larger growth of the Indian travel industry. At the fair, I got to meet many people associated with the
tourism sector and got a good chance to interact with them.
Har Sahay Meena, IASCommissioner of Tourism & Managing Director, TTDC

I have seen TTF for the last 20 years and it is one of the must visit event for the travel trade
in India. TTF have been able to retain their position as number one exhibition company in travel and tourism industry. Quality is very important and TTF
have been able to attract right kind of exhibitors, be it foreign or Indian. This exhibition is not only for one sector of tourism industry, it promotes outbound as well as domestic and inbound. I think TTF will go to a different height in time to time.

others. We are promoting wedding and honeymoon tourism along with the regular family vacations at TTFs and getting great response.
Deepak AroraInformation Officer

We are now trying to promote Gajoldoba and Jangal Mahal for both domestic and
foreign tourists. We are trying to create a wide range of promotions for our state. We are also thinking about roping in local as well as big
actors/actresses as brand ambassadors of state’s tourism. I want to urge everybody to come and see our booming Bengal.
Bratya BasuTourism Minister
Government of West Bengal
Very encouraging news for tourism industry in northeast, when we heard TTF is coming to
Guwahati. This kind of fair can help people travelling from northeast to outside northeast and also those who are already in the business. The North East India
Tourism Confederation (NEITC) conference held in TTF Guwahati was an eye opener. It is the starting of marketing efforts and strategies that can be adopted by the northeast.
E B BlahPresident
North East India Tourism Confederation (NEITC)
TTF is indeed a very good platform for showcasing our potential and tourism products.
It is really a privilege to be a part of this great event at Guwahati. Since long time we have been associated with TTF and Guwahati is a good source market for
Odisha.
Soujanya SharmaDirector Tourism (Jammu)

Like West Bengal, J&K too has a Shakti Peeth Maa Vaishno Devi Ji which is visited by more
than one crore people in a year and the major chunk is from West Bengal, Gujarat and Maharashtra. I would like to welcome TTF in Jammu & Kashmir also
to hold an event there.
M R PatnaikDirector-cum-Additional Secretary

TTF is an appropriate platform to send the message to the Indian and global tourism
markets that Assam is a safe destination like any other destination in the world. I definitely feel that TTF is a sound platform to offer myriad
destinations to intending tourists from Assam for visiting the other parts of the world.
Dhruba HazarikaSecretary, Department of Tourism

We participated at TTF Kolkata for the first time this year and were happy with the turnout at the
exhibition. We wanted to enter the Kolkata market to gauge and understand the needs and requirements of the travellers residing in East India. TTF was an effective
platform as it allowed us to meet both travel trade and potential customers. The event was very well organised and we appreciate the effort, the organisers took to conduct a successful trade fair.

It is very important for us to visit TTF, as Uttarakhand has old and memorable tourism
connection with the Kolkata and even whole west Bengal, and its people. We want to express that Uttarakhand is absolutely safe and open for visitors. We have given
special attention towards tourists’ safety and security, along with their fooding and lodging facilities. We have also set up a number of emergency centres, helpline numbers and medical facilities.

Telangana, the youngest state of India, offers a number of exciting destinations for the tourists
both from India and abroad. Apart from the capital city of Hyderabad, which is known for Charminar, Golconda fort, magnificent palaces, pearls and
biryani, the Kakatiya circuit covering Warangal and Karimnagar, offers a flavour of the glorious heritage of the area. We are also promoting a host of lesser known places in the State, such as, Jannaram near Kawal tiger sanctuary and Kadem lake resort in Adilabad, Alisagar lake resort in Nizamabad for those interested in adventure and eco-tourism. Come… Discover Telangana!
B P AcharyaPrincipal Secretary

Nowadays tourism seems to be an industry. It provides jobs as well as it improves the
economy of that state or country. Almost everybody is giving importance to tourism and travellers. Tourism sector is playing vital role in economy after
agriculture sector in the country. The government had allocated `220 crore for Andhra Pradesh for the development of tourism last year, and this year also we are expecting the same. We want to develop the tourism amount to generate revenue for both Centre and State government.
P Raghunatha ReddyIT & Culture Minister
Government of Andhra Pradesh
TTF is one of the best platforms for us. It gives us an opportunity to build ourselves and aware
others about Sri Lanka. People in Hyderabad are very interested about Sri Lanka and especially about the Ramayana sites. We are planning to participate next
in OTM Mumbai and TTF New Delhi.

We have been working with TTF for the last 10 years, back to back in every fair. It’s a lovely forum
for not only interaction, but I think TTF is doing a great job promoting tourism in India. The quality of products that TTF has, none of the other competitors have. TTF
has evolved and understood the need of travellers, hoteliers, and travel agents. And with changes every year TTF is meeting the greater satisfaction level of people and that goes for me also.
Vijendra Singh KumpawatGeneral Manager
