New Delhi:
Stating that India has strong relations with Turkey, Turkish
ambassador Burak Akcapar Monday said tourism and cultural
exchanges between the two countries need to be boosted.
"Our countries have had strong bilateral relations for a long time
but the tourism and cultural exchange between the two countries
needs to be boosted," said Akcapar at an event organised by the
Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI) to announce the Indian
Travel Congress being held at Istanbul March 11-13.
The year 2011 marked the diamond jubilee of India's cultural ties
with Turkey.
"Turkey offers many opportunities for the Indian tourist," said
Akcapar, adding "it presents a unique amalgamation of East and the
West".
"Turkey is an attractive tourist destination which provides
everything that Indians look for in an overseas travel experience
but it is not very popular here. Our conference will help boost
Turkish tourism," said TAAI general secretary Sunil Kumar R.
Around 50 tour operators from Turkey and neighbouring countries
are expected to attend the conference.
