Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI) – North India and China Tourist Office (CNTO) organised a cultural seminar in New Delhi, with 150 agents in attendance. Claiming that with such an event members get an opportunity to interact personally with representatives from China, Ashwani Sharma, Chairman, TAFI North India, said that the event would give a big push to agents as well. “Members of TAFI and senior travel agency representatives from Delhi attended the event, as we wanted people to pro- mote China as a prospective destination for Indians. Both countries are similar to each other and a lot of scope for MiCE and leisure travel from India to China exists,” he added. The Chinese delegation also included representatives from airlines offering connectivity to China and beyond. Speaking at the event, Tian Xin, Director, CNTO, said, “Indians have been interested in regular attractions of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, hence, besides promoting tourism in these areas, we also intend to promote secondary cities like Hubei and Yuhuan, as well as other places in China. We would like Indian tourists to get to know more about China and its tourist resources.”
