Global Tourism Council (GTC), which was established in 2016, is set to organise its inaugural convention in Cairo from September 16-19, 2018. The convention will be held at the Marriott Cairo & Omar Khayyam Casino. The convention will have three distinct areas of focus viz. tourism conclave, investment summit and film industry connect. The objective of the convention is to strengthen the bilateral relations between the two countries, and therefore prominent personalities from the sectors like tourism, hospitality, film production companies will be participating in the convention.
“With new challenges emerging every day in our industry we need to innovate and curate new ideas and opportunities. We must connect with those who think out-of-the-box for the development of the entire industry, leading to more profits, a better competitive stand or strategic renewal of an existing business,” said M Iqbal Mulla, chief council, GTC.
Egypt Tourism has been very proactive in getting things done for the inaugural India-Egypt Business Summit. “We are delighted to welcome GTC to Egypt. Egyptian Tourism strongly supports this event and it will do the maximum needed to make this convention a huge success. India and Egypt have been in a deep friendship and long term co-operation. I see this occasion as a further sign of such a co-operation. My best wishes on the happy beginnings of this forthcoming event,” said Ismail Amer, Egyptian Tourism Counselor.
The event will see discussions, debates and deliberations on the importance of adopting innovative technologies and new business models in tourism and hospitality industries. The focus will be on undertaking new challenges, tap untouched areas, and bring newer elements to the existing arena to attract the ever growing market of new generation travellers for greater returns.
