India will hold a global meet on investments into its tourism sector and a conference on business tourism next year, cashing in on its G-20 presidency which begins from December. The investment meet would be held in Delhi in January-February and the participants would include stakeholders in tourism from all G-20 countries, financial institutions, State tourism departments and representatives of Central government Ministries.

A separate conference on MICE tourism (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) would be held in April in Bangalore, an official in the Tourism Ministry told The Hindu . “The focus of global investments in tourism sector is on the hospitality industry, but through this conference we will seek to explore fund flow into theme parks, adventure tourism, amusement parks and skiing destination infrastructure,” he said.
