Giving a formidable push to its efforts to tap the East Asian market, Kerala Tourism showcased a wide spectrum of its alluring products and services in the thriving markets of China, Singapore and Japan recently. The main focus was to enhance the profile of the State as a ‘must-visit destination’ and bolster Kerala Tourism’s brand visibility in the region.
CHINA INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL MART (CITM)
As part of its strategy to aggressively promote the State in the China market, a high-profile delegation of Kerala Tourism, which included leading trade partners from the State, participated in China International Travel Mart (CITM) 2019 held in Kunming and also organised two roadshows in Shanghai and Beijing.
Rani George IAS, State Tourism Secretary, who led the delegation, made a presentation on the tourism products and potential of Kerala at the trade meets in Shanghai and Beijing.
