The India Pavilion Highlights MICE Segments To Boost Tourism At Expo 2020 Dubai

Two special sessions were held at the India Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, which conducted 'Tourism Fortnight,' to promote sustainable tourism and the MICE market in the country. The sessions themed 'Tourism at Crossroads - Mainstreaming sustainability for the future of tourism' and 'Meet in India: Emerging Hub for Business and Social Events' were attended by key officials from the Ministry of Tourism, government of India, as well as industry professionals, this week.

Moderated by Amaresh Tiwari, Vice Chairman, ICPB, the session was virtually addressed by Rakesh Kumar Verma, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Tourism, and Chairman, India Convention Promotion Bureau. "MICE industry is an important contributor to national economies as it contributes to income generation and creates huge employment opportunities, provides an impetus to hospitality services including sectors like accommodation, food and beverages, convention services, transportation, tourism, and entertainment," Verma said during the session titled "Meet in India: Emerging Hub for Business and Social Events."

India has superb convention and hospitality infrastructure, unrivalled cultural and natural attractions, and a rapidly growing economy, all of which contribute to the country's emergence as a corporate and social event hub." He went on to say that, given its rapid economic expansion and increased demand from consumers and industry destinations, India is a very appealing market for exhibitions.

Wedding tourism

Another crucial sector that Verma highlighted is that of Wedding Tourism. He said: “Wedding is another important niche area which is growing rapidly, many destinations in the country are emerging as wedding destinations and industry is getting more organised.”

Talking about the roadmap of MICE Tourism in India, Verma said: “Ministry of Tourism is working on the strategy to position India as a MICE destination in the world and a hub of mega conferences and exhibitions. It is working towards creating enabling conditions and institutional framework at the central, state and city level for the growth of MICE industry.

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has clearly defined guidelines for Sustainable Tourism which are to conserve government resources, protect biodiversity while respecting resources of the cultures, benefiting the local communities and to address the needs and benefits of the tourism industry.”
