TRAVEL & Information Technology Mart (ITITM) has been postponed due to political disturbance in Hyderabad.
Originally scheduled to be held at Hyderabad International Convention Centre from August 11-13 (TTG Asia e-Daily, July 21), ITITM will now take place in the second quarter of 2012.
Event organiser Catpro Events & Entertainment managing director, Sagar Pingali, told TTG Asia e-Daily: “We had to postpone the event as the ongoing political agitation in Hyderabad has created unease among some of our buyers and sellers.”
Some political factions have been demanding the creation of a separate Telangana state within Andhra Pradesh, with demonstrations and rallies being held in the state capital, Hyderabad.
The unrest has forced the state government to cancel the Global Investors Meet, previously due to be held in Hyderabad from September 19-20.
On the other hand, CIM Global has decided to proceed with its Indian Association Congress event, which will be held at Hyderabad International Convention Centre from August 31-September 1.
CIM Global managing director, Prashant Saha, said:”There’s only a passive effect, and our show will go on as scheduled.”
