“I am happy that India is showcasing its tourism potential yet again at the Arabian Travel Market (ATM). India has immense opportunities for tourism whether it is related to sight-seeing, spirituality, wellness, shopping, sports or other activities.

The infrastructure for tourism has been continuously improving in India to accommodate tourists from across the world but there is still immense untapped potential for future tourist arrivals in India. We can also learn from Dubai in promoting tourism in India.

The Government of India has liberalised and simplified visa regime for tourists and our Consulate has also played its true part in facilitating travel of Emiratis and foreign nationals to India from UAE.

I am sure that our participation in the Arabian Travel Market will enhance tourism inflow to India.” Vipul, Consul General, Consulate General of India, Dubai.
