Hyderabad has won the bid to host the 78th Skal World Congress 2017 (to be held from October 5 -8, 2017) and Vijay Mohan Raj, president, Skal International Hyderabad, is keen to give the members of Skal worldwide an experience of the regions of Hyderabad and Telangana, and naturally India. The team has already identified pre and post tours of the regions as a showcase that includes wellness, architecture, beaches, wildlife, etc.
“Our aim is to offer our delegates with a memorable Skal World Congress as we consider it to be a perfect platform to showcase India, Telangana and Hyderabad. There are 20,000 members across the globe from 85 countries who are a part of Skal. They are top players in the tourism space across the board. We hope to showcase the regions in the best possible way as it will be a perfect platform to see and experience India. On a conservative note, I feel we will have at least 2000 members attending the event. We want to showcase India and the royalty associated especially with Hyderabad and its Nizam legacy,” stated Raj. The work has already begun with hospitality partners and venue partners in place. Leading hotels brands in Hyderabad have partnered for the same with Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) as the event venue. There will be business sessions and meetings along with other special highlights over the four day event.
