The official Memorandum Of Understanding (M.O.U.) between the Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI) and the Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing (DTCM) was signed in Dubai by His Excellency Khalid A. Bin Sulayem, Director General, D.T.C.M and Mr. Ajay Prakash, President, TAFI.

TAFI's International Convention 2010 will be held in Dubai between 25-28 November. The theme of the Convention is "Coopetition - Key to Success" and can be loosely translated to mean cooperation between competitors and competition among partners. Over 1000 people are expected to attend.

The National Managing Committee, the Joint Council of TAFI and several officials of DTCM including their India Director, Mr. Carl Vaz were present at the signing ceremony.

In an interesting coincidence, the signing happened on 10/10/10 at precisely 10:10 a.m. i.e. on 10th October 2010 at 10:10 hrs.

Commenting on the coincidence, Ajay Prakash, President of TAFI and the Convention Chairman said "This is a very auspicious date and time according to the Chinese calendar. We hope that this auspicious start goes on to make TAFI Convention 2010 the most successful one yet."
