The Ministry has invited Expression of Interest from agencies to establish tourism marketing representative offices in Russia, Brazil, South Korea, Sweden, Spain, Thailand, Israel, Turkey, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Iran and Switzerland.
The overseas offices will be responsible for generating awareness about the tourism products and destinations of the country, promoting India as a preferred tourist destination and increasing India’s share in the global tourism market.
