The Indian and Singapore pavilions will be the highlights of the inaugural Mumbai International Tourism Expo (MITE) 2010 to be held at the Bombay Exhibition Centre, India from 7-9 January 2010.

The India Tourism pavilion, occupying some 360 square metres of net exhibit space, will feature primarily the various state tourism organizations bordering the Himalaya Mountains.

Apart from these, other state NTOs and individual companies and organizations in the Indian travel, hospitality and MICE sectors would also be taking up space in the 10,000 square metres exhibition hall.

While India Tourism would take the centre stage with the largest national pavilion, Singapore has been designated as the "Partner Country" with a pavilion of some 200 square metres, featuring the new Marina Bay Sands and the Resorts World at Sentosa amongst others.

"We are delighted to have Singapore as the Partner Country for MITE 2010 as it has the largest foreign national pavilion," said Mr. Edward Liu, Managing Director of CEMS, organizer of the event.

"We are also happy that the Singapore Tourism Board would be supporting the event and coordinating the participation of several key players from the Singapore tourism and travel industry," added Mr. Liu.

Officially hosted by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation, MITE 2010 is a dedicated tourism exhibition that provides business-to-business opportunities with a global platform for both industry players of India and its travel trade counterparts from around the world.

MITE 2010 also aims at providing an integrated business platform for local and international participants to showcase their products and services while creating an opportunity for them to meet the top decision makers of the industry. Furthermore, Indian and foreign travel agents will be able to grasp a deeper understanding on issues pertaining to the travel and tourism industry through a series of business forums and dialogue sessions that will unfold at MITE 2010.
