As India continues to strengthen its position as one of the world's most dynamic tourism destinations, Air India remains committed to supporting the country's tourism ambitions through its expanding global network and enhanced connectivity.
Air India and the Ministry of Tourism (MoT), Government of India, recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly promote India as a premier global tourism destination and strengthening India’s position as a key aviation and transit hub.
The MoU establishes a framework for coordinated initiatives across tourism marketing, destination storytelling, trade engagement, transit tourism, and visitor experience enhancement.
By leveraging Air India's expanding global network and the MoT’s flagship Incredible India initiative, the collaboration aims to boost inbound tourism, strengthen India's global visibility, and encourage more international travellers to discover the country's diverse cultural, heritage, natural, and experiential offerings.
The event reinforced the shared commitment of Air India and its tourism partners to deepen engagement with international travellers and further elevate India's profile as a must-visit destination for visitors from around the world.
