Delegates will be briefed on the impact of September 11, 2002 on Travel & Tourism.

Mr Yogesh Chandra, Secretary General of WTTC India, has said that WTTC is proud to gather together such key industry representatives. It is the role of the Council to facilitate dialogue between the Government and the private sector as it is through working together that we have a better chance to address the barriers to tourism development. I am confident that this high-level gathering will go a long way towards furthering tourism in India.
The spectacular setting of the Amarvilas Hotel in Agra, an Oberoi Group hotel is host to the retreat. Each room overlooks the majestic Taj Mahal, an auspicious setting for such key delegates focusing on increasing Travel & Tourism to India.
