DRMumbai: Global Tourism Council (GTC), which was established in 2016, is all set to organise its inaugural Convention in Cairo from September 16 to 19, 2018.
The Convention will be held at the Marriott Cairo & Omar Khayyam Casino. This will be the first time an industry convention will have three distinct areas of focus viz. Tourism Conclave. Investment Summit and Film Industry Connect.
The objective of the Convention is to strengthen the bilateral relations between the two countries and therefore prominent personalities from key sectors like Tourism, Hospitality, and Film Production companies will be participating in the Convention.
“With new challenges emerging every day in our industry we need to innovate and curate new ideas and opportunities. We must connect with those who think out-of-the-box for the development of the entire industry, leading to more profits, a better competitive stand or strategic renewal of an existing business,” said M Iqbal Mulla, Chief Council, GTC.
“We are delighted to welcome GTC to Egypt in September 2018. Egyptian Tourism strongly supports the event and will do the needful to make this Convention a huge success. India and Egypt have forged a deep friendship and a long-term co-operation. This is an opportunity to further deepen the co-operation. My best wishes to this forthcoming event,” said Ismail Amer, Egyptian Tourism Counselor.
The event will see discussions, debates and deliberations on the importance of adopting innovative technologies and new business models in tourism and hospitality industries.
The focus will be on undertaking new challenges, tap untouched areas, and bring newer elements to the existing arena to attract the ever-growing market of new generation travellers for greater returns.
“In the changing scenario, it is essential to invest in Digital marketing to reach out and connect better with customers, mainly young upbeat tech-friendly travellers. This is what will add value to the evolution and future of the hospitality and tourism industries,” said Mulla.
