Throughout SATTE 2025, OTOAI members engaged in a series of strategic meetings with National Tourism Organizations (NTOs), Destination Management Companies (DMCs), and other global tourism stakeholders. These interactions facilitated the exchange of valuable market insights, encouraged international collaborations, and showcased India’s growing potential as a source market for outbound tourism.
