The subjects of the conference include 'Promoting Destinations through Cinema Tourism' where the discussion will pertain to how National Tourist Offices and Indian states can further utilise cinema as a marketing tool to promote destinations and drive footfalls and 'Bridging the gap between Tour Operators & Hoteliers'. The latter explores the vital importance of enhanced co-operation between tour operators and hoteliers, which will further benefit the entire tourism ecosystem.
