SATTE bringing together some of the best in travel and tourism

With SATTE 2013 just around the corner, it is pleasing to see the response gathered from multiple Indian as well as international organizations and governing bodies. World Tourism Organization, UNWTO; US Commercial Service; and the International Coalition of Tourism Partners (ICTP) are some of the international trade bodies associated with this exclusive event. Indian trade associations like TAAI, TAFI, IATO, ADTOI, AATOI, ETAA, OTOAI, IAAI, FHRAI, etc. have been actively associated with SATTE since its inception. They are not only supporting but also encouraging an increased participation for SATTE 2013.

As always, SATTE brings together some of the best names in the travel, tourism, and hospitality industry, this time with an all-new agenda. The conferences will witness global leaders, where key issues in the travel and tourism domain will be discussed, and stakeholders will take home practical, implementable solutions.

During the last decade, SATTE has become an extremely large platform providing immense opportunities for the buyers and sellers from across the world to come and experience the Indian culture, showcase their latest offerings and build long-term business ties. It has proven to be the best avenue to promote in-bound, out-bound, and domestic tourism and has been growing year on year. The member associations feel that not just tourism, but all the other trade fairs concerning South Asia should be held in India!
