The event showcased a diverse array of global partners, including Scalo Milano and Trenitalia from Italy; Mini Europe, Atomium, Belgium Beer World, and Visit Brussels from Belgium; Sarova Hotels & Resorts from Kenya; and the Utah Office of Tourism alongside American Airlines from the United States. The strong participation of tourism boards, attractions, and hospitality brands underscored the growing interest in India’s outbound travel market.
