We intend to maintain the quality of delegates to ensure a productive business trip for all our attendees and the destination too.”
Ismail Amer, Egyptian Tourism Counsellor in India said, “We are delighted to welcome GTC to Egypt. Egyptian Tourism strongly supports this event & it will do the maximum needed to make this convention a huge success. India & Egypt, both countries, have been in a strong friendship & long term co-operation for many years. I see this occasion as a further sign of such a co-operation.
” Amer further added the theme of the convention ‘Innovate & Invest’ is brilliant and will offer immense benefits in myriad sectors of both the countries. “The three sectors i.e. tourism, investment and film are very much connected with each other and Egypt’s USP in all the segments is very strong. Hence, this convention will immensely benefit Egypt,”.
