THE TRAVEL Agents Federation of India (TAFI) will hold its annual convention in Macau from November 22-25.
The event will take place at the 3000-suite Venetian Macau resort, while the theme for this year will be Addressing Change – Rebrand, Reposition and Relevant.
Last year’s edition in Dubai attracted 1,200 delegates. This year, higher numbers are expected. “We expect an immensely informative and productive convention in Macau,” said Anil Punjabi, chairman-east India of TAFI.
The Macau Government Tourist Office will host the opening dinner for TAFI delegates as well as city tours. A small travel mart on November 23 will showcase sellers and their products from Hong Kong, southern China and Macau.
Macau is an increasingly popular destination for Indian leisure and MICE travellers, attracting 170,000 Indian visitors last year, a five-fold increase over 2006. This year, about 200,000 Indians are expected to visit Macau.
