Karnataka Tourism had organized exclusive marketing meets at Birmingham (04 Nov 2021) and Manchester (05 Nov 2021) in the UK
After a challenging 2020-21 for the tourism industry due to the COVID 19 pandemic and nearly a 2-year break, Karnataka Tourism, has been looking ahead to exciting times. After the destination opened up, Karnataka first participated in the prestigious World Travel Market which concluded this week. And to sustain the momentum generated, Karnataka Tourism organized exclusive marketing meets in key UK cities that including Birmingham and Manchester.
Europe and especially the UK has been the main source market for Karnataka in terms of tourist footfalls and these marketing meets are in continuation of the earlier meets. The UK has been among the highest contributors of tourists to India and to Karnataka. The traditional and historical connection between India and the UK has ensured a continuous flow of tourists. There are high levels of awareness about India in the UK; including NRIs which also have a sizeable Kannadiga population. A key factor is the direct air connectivity from London to Bengaluru (British Airways operates a non-stop flight; approximately 11 hours). Moreover, there is a seamless transit connection via the Middle East like Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, etc.
