The Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, along with tour operators and state tourism departments, made a significant presence at the prestigious ITB Asia exhibition in Singapore. Held from October 25th to 27th, the exhibition aimed to globally promote inbound tourism to India, with a focus on the Asia Pacific region. Led by the Ministry of Tourism, India showcased a wide array of tourism products and immersive travel experiences under the theme 'Incredible India! Visit India Year 2023.'
The official inauguration of the Incredible India pavilion was carried out by H.E. Dr. Shilpak Ambule, the High Commissioner of India to Singapore. The ministry's participation in the exhibition aimed to capture the attention of both media and industry professionals, emphasizing India's appeal as a lucrative travel destination. It highlighted various thematic products encompassing adventure, wellness, the Himalayas, eco-tourism, sustainable tourism, and exotic wildlife.
Within the Incredible India pavilion at ITB Asia, Destination Management Companies (DMCs) such as the Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) and the Hyderabad International Convention Centre showcased their products and services, engaging in fruitful interactions with potential clients and partners. The State Government of Goa, along with the Union Territory Administrations of Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, and Puducherry, also participated, promoting their distinct tourism offerings.
2023 has been designated as Visit India Year, with a significant focus on positioning India as a preferred destination in international markets. Singapore, in particular, holds substantial importance, especially for Buddhist tourism, given the robust connectivity between India and the Southeast Asia region, boasting around 150 weekly flights between the two.
The Ministry of Tourism's emphasis also extends to the promotion of sustainable tourism and the integration of sustainability into the tourism sector. India has introduced a National Strategy for Sustainable Tourism, aimed at mainstreaming sustainability within the Indian tourism sector. The strategy is built on seven key pillars, focusing on environmental, economic, and socio-cultural sustainability, biodiversity preservation, and awareness through skill development and entrepreneurship.
As part of Mission LiFE, a program called 'Travel for LiFE' has been developed to induce significant behavioral change among tourists and tourism businesses, leading to substantial impacts on environmental protection and climate action. This initiative aligns with India's G20 priority of Green Tourism, particularly under the Tourism Working Group. The program has identified a list of illustrative "Travel for LiFE Actions" that can be adopted by tourists and tourism businesses.
India's participation in ITB Asia marks a significant step in promoting the country's diverse and immersive tourism offerings while highlighting the importance of sustainability and responsible tourism practices. It not only showcases India's potential as a preferred destination but also reinforces its commitment to environmental protection and climate action in the tourism sector. So, if you're planning a trip to India, rest assured that it's not just about travel; it's about embracing a transformative and responsible travel experience in the heart of 'Incredible India.'
