The Indian Association of Travel and Tourism Experts (IATTE) has once again taken the lead in fostering connections and collaboration within the travel industry. As part of its ongoing commitment to bring professionals together, IATTE has announced a highly anticipated networking event on the 22nd of February, 2024, coinciding with the opening night of the prestigious SATTE exhibition. This event is set to host 50 travel organizers from various corners of India, making it an unmissable occasion for those seeking to forge meaningful connections in the travel and tourism sector.
With only 50 seats available, the event will follow a strict first-come, first-served basis, emphasizing the exclusivity and importance of the gathering. This limited availability adds an element of anticipation, encouraging early registration and ensuring that those who are quick to secure their spot will have the privilege of participating in this unique networking opportunity.
IATTE’s history is deeply rooted in its commitment to advancing the travel and tourism industry. Established with the vision of creating a platform where professionals can exchange ideas, collaborate on projects, and stay abreast of industry trends, IATTE has played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of travel expertise. Over the years, the association has grown to become one of the biggest networks of travel and tourism professionals, both nationally and internationally.
The upcoming networking event on February 22, 2024, is a testament to IATTE’s dedication to facilitating connections within the industry. Such gatherings provide a space for travel organizers to meet, share insights, and explore potential collaborations. The timing, coinciding with the opening night of the SATTE exhibition, adds an extra layer of significance, as SATTE is renowned for being one of the largest travel and tourism exhibitions in South Asia.
Mr. Naveen Manchanda, the President of IATTE, expressed his delight at the prospect of bringing travel professionals together after a significant hiatus. His presence at the recent networking evening in New Delhi on December 20, 2023, underscored the importance of such events in fostering a sense of community among travel professionals.
The decision to limit the seating to 50 participants adds an element of exclusivity, ensuring that the event remains intimate and conducive to meaningful interactions. Those interested in securing a spot or seeking further information are encouraged to reach out to the IATTE core team for assistance.
As the date approaches, anticipation is building within the travel community for what promises to be a landmark event. The 22nd of February, 2024, will not only mark the opening night of SATTE but will also serve as a gathering point for 50 of the most influential travel organizers in India.
In conclusion, IATTE’s announcement of an exclusive networking event on the 22nd of February, 2024, is a significant milestone in the association’s history. With a rich legacy of fostering connections and promoting excellence in the travel industry, IATTE continues to lead the way in bringing professionals together.
