Mumbai,  15 September,  2017 (GPN) : After hugely successful shows in Ahmedabad and Surat, the stage is now set for TTF, India’s largest travel tradeshow network,  which opened today at Mumbai’s Nehru Centre, to woo the travel trade from the city of Mumbai and its hinterland for the peak Diwali vacation season, followed by the Winter holidays.

TTF is India’s leading show for the travel and tourism industry, providing an annual opportunity to organisations from all over India and abroad to showcase their products and services. Travel trade visitors and actual tourists can interact with tourism boards, tour-operators, travel agents, hoteliers and airlines to gather information and make their national and international travel plans.

Jaykumar Rawal, Maharashtra Tourism Minister said “I am glad to learn that Fairfest Media Ltd. is organizing TTF in Mumbai from 15th to 17th September, 2017. TTF helps in creating employment, and promoting understanding, peace and harmony. It also encourages domestic tourism, the backbone of the Indian tourism industry.
