India shines at Nur-Sultan

Many saw in the PATA Travel Mart a good opportunity to tap both the inbound and outbound markets for India. Some Indian delegates share insights about the mart in Nur-Sultan, an upcoming tourist destination.

The PATA Travel Mart was a nice opportunity for buyers to meet quality suppliers from different countries, especially Kazakhstan. It also gave a chance to interact with other buyers. The country has a well-articulated culture based on a nomadic pastoral economy. It is famous for its mineral wealth, and the oil deposits are enormous.

Due to its venue, the mart evoked curiosity and interest among participants. India was well represented with five State bodies showcasing India to a wide cross-section of buyers. There were several sellers from India with independent booths and they were a part of the MOT pavilion. Some states have shown interest in hosting the mart in India.

The PATA Travel Mart was very well organised and we, as sellers, met many new foreign tour operators. The quality of buyers was quite good and we can expect some positive out- comes. Nur-Sultan is also an upcoming tourist destination, especially for M!CE. The city is developing good infrastructure and is not an expensive destination.

The mart was quite fruitful. We had a chance to meet new buyers, expand our networks, and establish new business relationships with many companies that promote or intend to promote India, especially within the southern part of the country. We found the exhibition to be an effective tool for promoting our products.
