According to Biji Eapen, President, IAAI, “The travel and tourism industry is evolving and the various associations should come together and work for the fraternity. The partnership between the two associations is aimed to provide a platform to the travel community to raise their voice on issues affecting the industry. We are happy to work with our fellow industry partners. This is a positive move and we hope to work with other associations in the near future.”
