To further promote Taiwan as a premier destination for high-end and incentive travel, the Taiwan Tourism Administration (TTA) will once again partner with airlines, travel agencies, and cultural performance groups to participate in the 2025 South Asia Travel & Tourism Exchange (SATTE 2025, 19 - 21 Feb, 2025 at YASHOBHOOMI-India International Convention & Expo Centre in New Delhi).

The delegation comprises of 23-members from 12 organizations. The delegation will also hold Taiwan Destination Seminar and Networking sessions in New Delhi (18 Feb) and in Mumbai (24 Feb). TTA aims to strengthen partnerships with Indian travel industry professionals and to increase the number of Indian tourists to Taiwan.

According to TTA’s statistics, 34,926 Indian tourists visited Taiwan between January and November 2024, marking a 20.2% growth compared to the same period in 2023. Data from the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, also highlighted the number of Indian outbound traveler reached 25,087,316 in the period January to October 2024, an 8.49% increase year-on-year. Given India’s rapid economic growth and its status as the world’s most populous country, the potential of India’s outbound tourism market is tremendous. And Taiwan is positioning itself as an attractive new destination for Indian travelers.

The Taiwan Destination Seminar and Networking sessions in New Delhi (18 Feb) and Mumbai (24 Feb) will welcome over 100 Indian travel agencies and media representatives to foster bilateral exchanges. Surveys conducted by TTA in India reveal that “scenic beauty” and “shopping” are the key motivators for Indian travelers visiting Taiwan. Taiwan’s diverse culinary scene—including its extensive vegetarian-friendly offerings—will also cater well to the dietary preferences of Indian tourists. Taiwan is also being positioned as a destination for unique experiences such as overseas weddings. Taiwan will focus on offers of luxury experiences, shopping festivals, cultural tourism, and incentive travel that are highly relevant to the Indian travel trade. Popular Indian travel content creators, Kirti & Rajat of @TravelBuddiesForLife and Bhavini Purohit of @PurohitBhavini, will also be at the sessions to share their recent Taiwan travel experiences.

Cox & Kings Unveils ‘Winter Tales of Europe’ as Indians Choose Offbeat Winter Destinations

Cox & Kings Unveils ‘Winter Tales of Europe’ as Indians Choose Offbeat Winter Destinations

By Hariharan U

Published on November 19, 2025

As Europe settles into its most scenic season, Indian travellers are increasingly looking beyond the usual winter hotspots. This year, Central and Eastern Europe have become strong favourites, leading Cox & Kings to introduce its new ‘Winter Tales of Europe’ collection. The series focuses on handpicked journeys through quieter, cultural, and lesser-explored regions, offering an intimate view of Europe away from the typical tourist trails.

Booking patterns show a clear trend: places like Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary, and Bulgaria are seeing higher demand among Indian travellers. These destinations offer a mix of heritage, calm winter beauty, and good value. From snow-covered old towns to peaceful mountains and festive markets without long queues, the region appeals to travellers seeking a more soulful winter holiday.

The new itineraries, ‘Eastern Wonders: A Winter Tale’, ‘Essence of Europe: Winter Journey’, and ‘Passionate Europe: A Winter Tale’, have been curated to highlight the slower and more immersive side of Europe. While winter does bring affordability with airfares and stays dropping up to 40% across Europe between November and March, Cox & Kings says the real focus is on meaningful experiences rather than seasonal discounts.

"There's a kind of quiet grandeur to Europe in winter especially in the regions that aren't yet overrun by tourism," says Karan Agarwal, Director, Cox & Kings. "Our Winter Tales itineraries bring that to life for travellers who want to go beyond the obvious and experience Europe as it truly feels to locals."

The Winter Tales series is open to a wide range of travellers: families looking for festive breaks, honeymooners, solo travellers joining group departures, senior explorers, and all-women groups under Cox & Kings’ Group Inclusive Tours (GIT) format. There is also flexibility for travellers who prefer independent travel, as the itineraries can be customised. Bookings for these journeys remain open until mid-March 2026.

About Cox & Kings
Cox & Kings is the world’s first and one of the most iconic travel houses, with a legacy of over 260 years. Established in 1758, it has been a pioneer in global travel across leisure, business, and specialised segments. Known for its deep expertise and curated experiences, the brand continues to guide generations of travellers with a blend of tradition, innovation, and customer-first hospitality.

Andaman Tourism to Host ‘Island Trekking Festival’ at Mount Manipur on November 15

Andaman Tourism to Host ‘Island Trekking Festival’ at Mount Manipur on November 15

By MAnu Vardhan Kannan

Published on November 16, 2025

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands government is set to host an ‘Island Trekking Festival’ at Mount Manipur on November 15, aiming to promote eco-adventure tourism and encourage local youth participation. Organised by the Tourism Department with support from the Environment and Forests Department and MY Bharat, the event highlights the islands’ natural beauty and historical legacy.

A tourism department official stated that the festival seeks to inspire youth to take up eco-guiding and adventure guiding as viable paths for self-employment, aligning with the administration’s vision of sustainable tourism development. Participation will be limited to 50 individuals, including local youth, trekking enthusiasts, tour operators, and tourists. The first 50 registered participants will be selected for the trek, and all will receive participation certificates from the Tourism Department.

Mount Manipur, formerly known as Mount Harriet, is the third-highest peak in the Andaman archipelago and one of its most scenic and historically significant trekking routes. The site carries deep historical importance, following the Anglo-Manipur War of 1891, Maharaja Kulachandra Singh and 22 freedom fighters were exiled to the Andaman Islands.

To honour their bravery, Union Home Minister Amit Shah renamed Mount Harriet as Mount Manipur during his 2021 visit to the islands. In recognition of this history, the Tourism Department chose the location as the venue for the Island Trekking Festival, merging adventure with remembrance.
