Maryam Toorani, Director of Marketing and Promotion, BTEA said: “The purpose of the roadshow is to strengthen travel trade relationships in order to increase visitor arrivals from India to our beautiful Kingdom of Bahrain. India is one of the most important source markets for Bahrain and as such the Bahrain Tourism & Exhibitions Authority is confident that this initiative will further enable and enhance an expansion in the Indian Market. The prime focus has been placed on achieving a notable number of visitors in the coming few years from varied segments such as leisure, MICE, and weddings.”

The event began with the trade having one on one B2B meetings with the stakeholders. Following that the travel trade community was educated through a presentation on Bahrain as a destination for Indian travellers. The presentation highlighted that the country has something to offer to every type of traveller from millennials to young couples, from honeymooners to business travellers.

The roadshow gave a chance to highlight that Bahrain is the perfect holiday destination for Indian travellers with the convenient e-Visa process and the multiple direct flights which take you to Bahrain in less than 4 hours. Bahrain as a destination has a variety of offerings for its travellers from beautiful beaches, adventure activities, luxurious accommodation options, pearl diving, heritage, culture, and food. The destination is also home to the world-famous Formula one race.

At this event, the #friendsofBahrain concept was introduced to the audience present. The concept behind this hashtag is that anyone who is associated with the destination promotes it is a friend of Bahrain or as Bahrain’s brand evangelist. ‘The #friendsofBahrain hashtag will be used by the tourism board in all future communications, encouraging travellers, trade and influencers to use it to promote our and your one and only Bahrain!’ said the press release.
