Indian Association of Travel and Tourism Experts (IATTE) is the first-ever travel platform to be launched online, on July 24, born out of the need for uniting tourism’s varied verticals.
IATTE is the brainchild of Naveen Manchanda, Founder, Tour Passion, who is the President of the association and has an experience of 25 years in the industry. The association took shape after social media exchanges between Manchanda and Veena Robinson, with the idea to bring various verticals of the Indian travel industry together with selected people from the travel trade. The concern that led to its establishment was that Indian tourism professionals felt helpless due to the current situation and felt the need for a body that brought the different tourism verticals together. They all understood the need for responsible and sustainable tourism and until now, a total of 91 meetings have taken place. “The travel trade is going through tough times, but we must focus on creating opportunity in adversity. Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power,” says Manchanda.
For the first financial year, 2020-2021, no fee is applicable for new memberships.
