Hyderabad witnessed an intense culinary showdown as the 11th edition of the Young Chef Olympiad, organized by the International Institute of Hotel Management (IIHM), concluded its Hyderabad round. Among nine participants, young chefs from Uzbekistan, Uganda, and the Philippines secured their spots in the semi-finals. They will now compete with 17 others from different cities in the next stage, scheduled for February 7 in Kolkata.
The Young Chef Olympiad, widely recognized as the world’s biggest culinary event, has seen its largest-ever participation this year, with 50 countries in contention. The first round of the competition was held across multiple cities, including Kolkata, Goa, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad. The top 20 chefs from this round will move on to the semi-finals, while only the top 10 will battle it out in the grand finale on February 8. The ultimate winner will claim a golden trophy and a cash prize of ₹10 lakh. Azerbaijan has dominated the competition for the past two years, winning back-to-back titles.
Representing India in the competition is Ali Akbar, a student from IIHM Bangalore, who competed in Round 1 in Goa. Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s participant was unable to attend due to visa-related issues.
Speaking on the Olympiad’s remarkable growth, Dr. Suborno Bose, Chairman of IIHM and the International Hospitality Council (IHC), remarked, “What began as a small competition with 15 countries has now expanded to 50. This event is not just about winning; it’s about fostering friendships, professional networks, and unity through food. It also helps promote Indian culture and cuisine on a global platform.”
This year, the Olympiad has embraced AI as its central theme, showcasing its impact on the culinary world. Dr. Bose highlighted how AI is revolutionizing the industry by enhancing meal personalization, optimizing kitchen operations, improving food presentation, and minimizing waste. “AI is cooking a lot in the culinary industry,” he quipped.
Held under the aegis of the International Hospitality Council, UK, the Young Chef Olympiad has been a premier global event since its inception in 2015. Organized by IIHM, a part of the Indismart Group, the competition continues to set new benchmarks in culinary excellence while celebrating cultural diversity through food.

Japan has witnessed an extraordinary year in tourism, with the number of Indian visitors soaring by 40% in 2024. A total of 233,000 Indian tourists visited Japan between January and December, a significant increase from 166,394 in 2023. This surge demonstrates the growing popularity of Japan’s unique mix of culture, modernity, and natural beauty.
The rise in tourism is largely due to enhanced air connectivity. In 2024, the Bengaluru-Tokyo route saw a boost, expanding to five weekly flights. The winter 2024-2025 schedule now includes 26 direct flights per week connecting major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru to Japan. Additionally, new codeshare agreements between airlines have made travel even more convenient, offering seamless connections from various cities in India.
Indian tourists have shown a strong preference for Japan, particularly in May 2024, when the country experienced its largest influx of visitors. The month saw an impressive 29,068 arrivals, a 61.6% year-on-year increase. This timing was perfect, coinciding with India’s summer holidays and Japan’s Golden Week, creating an ideal opportunity for families to explore the country.
While Tokyo remains a favorite destination, the year also saw a rise in MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) tourism. Indian corporate groups began extending their travels to regions like Kansai and Hiroshima, which are emerging as attractive alternatives to Tokyo. This shift reflects the growing interest in exploring a broader range of destinations for corporate events.
Japan is also making efforts to promote lesser-known yet breathtaking regions. The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) has been highlighting attractions such as Hokkaido’s snowy landscapes, Tohoku’s autumn colors, and the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route’s awe-inspiring ‘Snow Wall.’ These efforts aim to encourage Indian tourists to discover Japan beyond the well-trodden paths of the ‘Golden Route.’
Looking ahead, Japan’s tourism momentum is expected to continue, especially with the upcoming “Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan,” promising even more opportunities for Indian visitors to experience the country’s hospitality and cultural wonders.
