India Outbound - January - February 2022

Bu sayıda

The January-February 2022 edition of India Outbound is out now!
In this issue of India Outbound our focus is on the MICE sector. We highlight how destinations have identified MICE as the key to a rapid recovery and hence are aggressively promoting themselves as prime MICE destinations. And from the Indian perspective, leading the MICE race are countries closer home. Be it Sri Lanka, Thailand, Maldives or South Korea, each is vigorously trying to get on to the MICE train.
However, it is not just the MICE that has caught the eye. Each destination seems to have gone back to the drawing board to identify its USPs and project them globally. Few are doing that in a more comprehensive manner than the UAE. Destinations like Abu Dhabi too have stepped up to attract tourists willing to explore new luxury destinations, with a variety of activities. And what better way of attracting tourists than with a little bit of fun and frolic through theme parks. Destinations like Yas Island and Dubai are constantly upgrading the theme park segment to always come up with something new and interesting.
However, if adventure is not your cup of tea and you want to take the adrenaline a notch down and catch up on the romance, then what better way than glamping. India Outbound has curated five ideal destinations closer home for an ideal celebration of Valentine’s Day 2022.
And if our readers are still unsure about their destination choice, we have some reputed bloggers talking of their own dream vacations and the first destination that they would hit in the current year.
