Prasenjit Chakraborty - Mumbai The Travel Agents Federation (TAFI) has selected Vietnam as the host destination for its 2025 Convention. The Ninh Binh Province will see congregation of Indian travel trade for this showcase.
Brimming with excitement, TAFI President Ajay Prakash is happy to offer the association members an opportunity to explore a newer Asian destination from January 17 to 20.
Talking to TravelBiz Monitor, Prakash stated that the convention will be a three-night event (January 17–19) with the theme Tourism for Tomorrow: Protecting the Planet. He mentioned that Vietnam is one of the countries that appear to be serious about sustainable tourism. “The Ninh Binh Province is just a 2.5-hour drive from Hanoi Aairport,” Prakash said.
Speaking about the Ninh Binh Province, he noted that it is a lesser-known destination for Indians but has significant potential in terms of tourism. “TAFI always prefers to organise its conventions in lesser-known destinations with considerable growth potential. This time, we have followed the same principle,” Prakash pointed out.
Prakash emphasised that TAFI is offering its delegates only a three-night convention. “We are not booking flights for them or arranging pre- or post-familiarisation tours,” he said. He added that all their delegates are from the travel industry and are well-versed in booking tickets and handling visa processes.
“TAFI will focus on the three-night convention and its content, ensuring that the event is flawlessly organised. We will pick up delegates from Hanoi airport and drop them back after the convention,” Prakash revealed. He further mentioned that TAFI would stop registrations once 400 people have signed up. “We can accommodate a maximum of 450 people, but no more than that,” he said.
He also confirmed that the media would be part of the convention.
