The US Travel Association is going to organise its fourth annual sales and media mission to India from September 6-9, 2010. A delegation of 20 representatives are scheduled to visit Mumbai and New Delhi to promote increased travel to the United States and conduct meetings with tour operators, airline representatives, travel agents and media.

India is among the fastest growing emerging travel markets worldwide.

The expected increase in travel is being met with continued improvements in the Visa and entry process, a priority of the US Travel Association and a focus of federal government partners involved in the travel process.
