Coimbatore: The Tamil Nadu Travel Mart Society (TTM), the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and TTDC have joined hands to conduct the 'TTM Roadshow' which will be the second edition of the TTM Mart 2019.
The TTM Roadshow will be held from September 19 to September 22 at the Chennai Trade Center. In view of this Roadshow, the Ministry of Tourism is also extending full cooperation and support to bring quality foreign buyers to the Mart.
Aravind Kumar, a Tourist Officer said, "This was because the stakeholders in tourism were not aware of the State's advantages in not marketing them. We have the highest number of arrivals. Tamil Nadu has four international airports, UNESCO heritage sites and Chennai was declared the most creative city for music. We have strengths but since we are not marketing them properly, stakeholders including hotels and travel agents are not able to convert them into profits," he added.
The Tamil Nadu Travel Mart Society had earlier organized a press briefing to announce that the inauguration at Chennai Trade Center was being held on July 31 and in B2B this Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, the Mart will be thrown open to the public and invitees with proper credentials will be allowed inside the Mart on the first three days. Post tours will follow the Mart to all four regions, namely Chera, Chola, Pandya and Pallava.
The CII will also have a Medical mart along with the TTM Mart at the same venue. The CII has the facility of the website to block the stalls www.ciittm.com since the first edition of TTM Mart 2017 had 500 foreign buyers and domestic buyers, with a pre-tour organized for buyers culminating a grand cultural show in Pollachi.
For TTM 2019, the team expects 1000 foreign and domestic buyers as participants. Participation in the Mart is being showcased as the best way to connect with potential buyers from India and abroad. The uniqueness of TTM Mart is that all qualified buyers will be invited and especially those interested in promoting Tamil Nadu. TTM 2019 is providing a platform and a unique opportunity for Hotels, Homestays, Tour operators, Ayurvedic centres, Mice destination, farm resorts and hill resorts to promote their interaction with potential buyers.
