Amidst the countless ways that India captures world attention as a tourist
paradise of exotic dimensions, there also exists in her a dynamic business
country and a splendid venue for international conferences and conventions
of no less than global standards.
For, India is where change is taking place as an inevitable part of its
daily life and newer technologies are reaching out into every sinew of its
mature and positive-minded society.
Today’s India is a all-new meeting place of the times past, times present
and times future. It is indeed an amazing amalgamation of tradition and
culture, style and splendour, warmth and feelings, beauty and nature,
comfort and convenience, virtually everything the modern conference
organizer or delegate could expect, for the rewards of success.

Take a look at the choice of locations that India offers as also various
conference venues at these places. Sprawling, palm-fringed, golden beaches
come to the doorstep of internationally distinguished names in luxury
hotels, villas, resorts and motel chains. Then, there’s the breathtaking
beauty of the Himalayas where meeting in style could mean a summit
conference at ski-resorts with their log cabins or with cascading
golf-courses and the hideaway Swiss chalets. Then again, you can choose from
the magnificence of palaces built on lake waters, the shimmer and grandeur
of the super luxury banquet halls in the heart of the metros, or from the
solitude and august ambience of the research and academic institutes, the
business and convention forums at the World Trade Fair, the Government
sponsored Chambers of Commerce…. It’s a choice that’s vast and varied.
And, to deliver this on a platter, India offers an educated manpower base
where fluency in English and other official international languages can be
taken for granted.

India is liberalising her policies, and these have opened enormous business
opportunities for foreign business houses in certain sectors as
telecommunications, banking, insurance, oil and petroleum, pharmaceuticals,
agro products and food, water management, among others.
Liberalisation and industrial deregulation benefit organisers and
participants in Meetings, Conventions and Incentives taking place in India,
since participants become aware of the possibilities of business expansion
in India.
The Indian aviation sector has shown a steady growth rate of around 7
percent in terms of consistent increase in the number of flights into and
out of India (an additional 835 flights and more than 200,000 seats a month)
in recent years. The number of flights touching the Indian tarmac has nearly
doubled form 6,800 in May 2001 to 13,000 in May 2007.

the period and location, tours are offered to give an opportunity to
