INDIA'S LEADING
TRAVEL TRADE SHOW
MUMBAI, 4-6 February 2015
Bombay Exhibition Centre
OTM emerges as the leading travel trade show in IndiaOTM 2015 held in Mumbai from February 4 to 6 at the Bombay Convention and Exhibition Centre, was the biggest-ever travel trade show in India. With participation of 1,000 plus exhibitors from 50 countries, OTM was spread over 20,000 sq m. Around 10,000 travel trade visitors, including Pre-registered and Hosted Buyers from all over India visited the show. It was the only travel trade show in India having the distinction of inauguration by the Chief Minister of the host state, Maharashtra. Not only that, the Chief Minister and the Tourism Minister of the partner state Uttarakhand also visited the show.
OTM is one of the biggest travel exhi-
bitions in the coun-try, where delegations from countries around the globe came to pro-mote tourism. I think
tourism brings nations and communities closer. Tourism is also a major source of revenue and gives empowerment, and OTM provides the platform for the devel-opment of tourism.
Devendra FadnavisChief Minister
Government of Maharashtra
The scale and size of OTM not only reinforces the leadership position and popularity of the show, but also the strong trends in the tourism
industry, helped by increasing public policy support from the governments at the central and state level to the tourism industry.
Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, who also holds the charge of tourism, inaugurated OTM on February 4. He remarked, “I would like to congratulate OTM for successfully organising a travel trade show of this magnitude. Both Indian and international tourism is set to get a huge boost out of this show. We have a special focus on promoting Maharashtra as a destination and by participating in OTM, tourism in Maharashtra too will get a good boost.”
Sanjiv Agarwal, the Chairman & CEO of Fairfest Media, organiser of OTM was thrilled by the fact that not only the Chief Minister agreed to inaugurate the show, he came 20 minutes earlier than the appointment and walked the show. “It is a refreshing change and augurs very well for the tourism industry,” he added.
Harish Rawat, Chief Minister of Uttarakhand and Dinesh Dhanai, Tourism Minister of Uttarakhand, visited OTM on Day 3 (February 6). Apart from the keen interest and encouragement to their home state, the two dignitaries walked the show, interacting with the various other domestic and international participants and also engaged the tourism stakeholders from Uttarakhand in an interactive session on the importance of domestic tourism for the state’s economy, and their future plans for boosting tourism in Uttarakhand.
Ram Shankar Shinde, Minister of State for Tourism, Maharashtra, also visited on Day 3 (February 6). He also presided over the OTM Awards and Valedictory Function. The OTM awards were eagerly awaited by all participants.

India is a huge travel market, with unique oppor-tunities and challenges. A country of over one
billion people and as many trips within India, and over 15 million Indians going abroad, it can only be a lucrative market for destination promoters. At the same time, there are unique challenges, like increased competition among destinations vying for a slice of this price-sensitive market.
Immediately after the ceremonial inau-guration of OTM 2015 by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, an inaugural panel discussion took place. The panel was moderated by NDTV and participated by esteemed thought leaders comprising practitioners in the field sharing their experiences on opportunities and challenges of promoting tourism in India.

Post Show Report
Kuoni India collaborated with OTM in a first of its kind Kuoni Knowledge series 2015 event.
This unique forum served as a platform for direct exchange of ideas and insights between the vari-ous businesses in the tourism industry. OTM-Kuoni Knowledge series 2015 devoted itself to mastering the challenges and opportunities within the travel indus-try. Topics for discussions across three days included Corporate Travel, MICE and Luxury.
The Business Travel session was conducted by Manoj Chacko, Chief Executive Officer, Kuoni Travel Group, India. He brought to light some interesting insights to the macroeconomic scenario and future trends of Business Travel highlighting the key driv-ers for effective travel management and smart cor-porate travel policies. Significant cost savings were possible through a simple travel policy, empowering travellers encouraging them to take the lowest fare and advance purchase of fares by studying the behav-ior of travellers.
SD Nandakumar, Head - SIT & Business Develop-ment, Kouni Travel (India) Pvt Ltd conducted the ses-sion on the second day. He discussed best practices and asked what future expertise could bring to MICE Travel especially for the fast-growing markets. The session highlighted on how Incentive travel has now been recognised as a powerful business tool for help-ing organisations achieve key business objectives and drive bottom line results which is the result of MICE gaining significance in the last few years. Reward and Recognition for employees, dealers & distribu-tors is important to companies and MICE operators
have become the medium through which the compa-nies look to achieve their objective of motivating their important constituents.
The Luxury session by Vishal Suri, Chief Execu-tive Officer, Tour Operating, Kouni Travel (India) Pvt Ltd highlighted key drivers for the growth of Lux-ury Travel. It highlighted the key trends in Luxury Travel such as Theme based holidays where each holiday trip has to be crafted to exclusivity, popular destinations and characteristics of the luxury seg-ment. While planning a luxury holiday authenticity, experience, exclusivity, and privacy tend to be the most favored choices when luxury travellers plan
their holidays.This exclusive event consisted of plenary expert
sessions with plenty of time for questions and discus-sion with extensive networking opportunities.
Speaking on the collaboration, Rajeev Wagle, Managing Director, Kouni Travel Group, India said, “Kuoni India has always strived to be the new age innovative holiday maker. As a leader in all travel segments namely Escorted Tours, Free Individual Travel, Domestic Holidays and MICE, defining new horizons is essential to creating sustainable growth opportunities. Through Knowledge Series 2015, we brought a highly informative and unique opportunity
for industry leaders to contribute to a constructive dialogue on the future of sustainable tourism.”
Sanjiv Agarwal, Chairman & CEO of Fairfest Media Ltd, the organiser of OTM said, “We are sim-ply thrilled at this partnership on a long term basis. It adds a very important education element to the show.”
The aim of the knowledge series was to continue to strengthen awareness of making holidays a pri-ority with Indians. It also fostered closer co-opera-tion between tourism boards, corporate executives and partners and contributed to the enhancement of marketable holiday solutions.

This is my second visit to OTM as an exhibition in Czech Tourism pavilion. It is growing and I see a bright prospect of OTM. OTM Mumbai is also a very
good medium for the small agents who are working via big agents and don’t have a direct access to DMCs from an international end. This medium can join us like a bridge and that is why I feel participating in OTM is very
important for a foreign DMC.

OTM Mumbai is a big name and I think it doesn’t need any sort of introduction. From year to year it’s going on strength to strength and I can say that you are

Jammu & Kashmir makes a strong pitch
Thailand showcases new regions at OTM On the sidelines of OTM 2015 in Mumbai, Tourism Author-ity of Thailand (TAT), Mumbai office hosted a high-tea for the travel trade fraternity, showcasing the new regions and provinces which will be promoted as part of the ‘2015 Dis-cover Thainess Campaign’. The destination training pre-sentation highlighted various new locations such as Trat, Rayong, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Kanchanaburi, Hua Hin, Cha Am, Ko Phangan and Chumphon, among others.
Soraya Homcheun, who has recently assumed charge as Director, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Mumbai, said, “We have created new and special routes for these destinations focusing on family vacations, catering to their needs of entertainment for both children and parents.”
Amnuay Tiamkeerakul Executive Director, ASEAN, South Asia and South Pacific Region Department was also present for the high-tea session. He urged the Indian
travellers to experience these new routes, and encouraged the trade fraternity to promote these new locations to their
end consumers. Suladda Sarutilavan, currently Director of Tourism
Authority of Thailand, Pattaya office, and who was pre-viously based in Mumbai, said, “With my past experience of the Indian market, I have tried to bring products and attractions which would appeal to all segments like FIT, families, honeymooners etc.”
There was an entire entourage of Thai suppliers includ-ing Thai Airways and Bangkok Airways who participated in OTM to showcase their various products for the Indian market. Thailand Tourism has recently appointed Mary Kom as the brand ambassador for Muay Thai, which is being extensively promoted in India as a family or group activity. TAT is initiating many unique activities and proj-ects this year focusing on promoting luxury and experien-tial experiences in the Indian market.
During OTM Mumbai, West Bengal Tourism conducted a travel trade and media road show announcing its plans to engage and reach out to the travel trade and consumers
countrywide to promote itself as a ‘complete destination’. West Bengal has a very important geo-strate-
gic location. The state capital, Kolkata is the com-mercial hub of the entire region. The state shares its borders with three major SAARC nations namely Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. Over the last few years, the flow of tourist traffic in West Bengal is steadily increasing.
Speaking on the occasion, Umapada Chatterjee, Direc-tor of Tourism, Government of West Bengal said, “The present government has taken several initiatives to boost tourism in West Bengal. Going by the current trends, tour-ism is a fast growing and thus an impactful sector for the state economy. Keeping this in mind, we shall be actively participating in all major travel and tourism fairs span-ning across India, coupled with road shows and consumer campaigns in print, TV, radio and digital platforms.”
West Bengal Tourism rolls out nationwide campaign Taj Hotels displays its luxury properties
The Indian Hotels Company Limited (Taj Hotels) made a presentation on the various packages they were offer-ing from February 01 till October 31. They focussed on weekend packages and minimum one-night stay offers. Bandita Patnaik, Director of Sales, gave a presentation on behalf of Taj Lands End, Mumbai. Christopher Vie-gas, General Manager - Sales, Travel Industry Sales, Taj Hotels said, “This is the only hotel in the city which has the sea view from any room.” The other two lux-ury propertiespromoted were Vivanta by Taj, Kumara-kom, and Vivanta by Taj, Malabar in Kerala. The audi-ence was informed about the luxury experiences at best prices provided by these hotels. Taj Lands End, Mumbai was the official Partner Hotel of OTM 2015.
For a state recovering from the aftermath of a devastating flood, the presence of over 100 exhibitors from Jammu and Kashmir at OTM Mumbai was testimony to the resilience of the travel trade in the state, and their strong belief that only aggressive promotions would help them get back their pre-eminent position as India’s favourite tourist destination. The delegation, among the biggest from any state in OTM, was buoyed by the return of Farooq Ahmad Shah as Director Tourism, and MD, JKTDC.
Farooq Ahmad Shah along with R K Verma, Director, Jammu, addressed an impromptu gathering of all stakehold-ers from the state to listen to their problems and suggestions, and to assure them of the state government’s proactive and aggressive initiatives to help restore vibrancy to the state’s tourism industry.
The J&K Tourism Alliance organised an interactive sem-inar on February 5, at The Club (Andheri), to interact with the Travel Trade and Media from Mumbai and Maharashtra, and assure them about the safety and security of tourists in Jammu and Kashmir.
