Partnership Meets

Partnership Meets are business meets where the travel trade from Kerala including hoteliers, tour operators, house boat operators, homestays and ayurveda centres meet tour operators in selected cities in India which are the potential markets for Kerala. It is a half day event. The show will be held in the best available venue in that destination preferably in a hotel. Table spaces will be allotted to the participants from Kerala who pay the required participation fee to Kerala Tourism. Kerala Tourism will be inviting the tour operators and travel agents of the source market to the Partnership Meets to attend as buyers. The business session will be from 3.30 pm to 7.30 pm in all the cities. There will be a film screening and cultural programme at 7.30 pm.
