Backgrounder and New Look SATTE
SATTE is now in its 15th year running.
What started as pure inbound, has now become a
name for buying and selling Indian tourism.
Having hosted over 4000 tour operators from 40
countries worldwide, with leading partners like
Ministry of Tourism, Air India, Indian Airlines
and a dozen hotels in the capital, the event
offers the only hospitality programme of its kind
in the country.
SATTE is now promoting all streams - evolving as
India's travel potential is growing, promoting and
featuring all streams including domestic and
outbound. Appropriately, we are now calling the
event SATTE OPENWORLD.
Endorsed by all industry associations and
segments, SATTE OPENWORLD is by far the biggest
show in India and South Asia.
With 500 booths last year including 25 states
participating, we are looking at 650 plus booths
this year.
16 countries exhibited last year. 30 should
exhibit this year.
We are working on a strong conference platform.
We have a number of important themes to work upon
including IT and travel, heritage tourism, health
spas and new destinations.
April is a good time to catch the Indian peak
season.
Come with specific packages to offer on B2B
platform.
New Delhi is the best place to attract nation wide
attention on media, with government and industry.
Start with 50 sq.m. space or with more.
Bring industry from your country to meet with
industry in India.
SATTE brings home another advantage: work with the
Indian trade, round the year with T3, the
country's leading travel trade magazine.
AT OPENWORLD 2008, we are working on new segments
and new streams among the exhibitors:
- Airlines and Airports to exhibit and
showcase the Indian Aviation.
