Fitur 2018, the annual International Tourism Fair in Spain, kick starts in Madrid with India as its Partner Country. India is the Fitur Partner and is the fifth country by presence in the five day event, which will be concluded on January 21, 2018,

For the third year in a row, Fitur has allowed a participating company or destination the chance to become integrated in its communication strategy to gain better advertising and broadcasting. On this occasion, this partner programme has turned India into a Fitur Partner, adding its country brand to this staging and placing the Asian power in a special spotlight during the Trade Show.

“In fact, INDIA is the Asian country with the greatest presence in this staging, and one of the top five in the Trade Show as a whole,” opines the organisers of the event, in a press release. Under the slogan of ‘Incredible India’, the hall led by the India Tourism Board has witnessed a 35 per cent increase in overall participation, with a greater presence of companies and states/regions, as well as of tour operators that will be present in their own stands.
