The 68th Annual Convention of the Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI) was held from 17th to 19th September 2025 in the vibrant city of Abu Dhabi, UAE. This prestigious gathering brought together leading travel professionals, tourism boards, airlines, and hospitality partners from across the globe — all united to discuss the future of tourism, technology integration, and international collaborations.
Representing Maanas Sarover Tours & Travels Private Limited, our Director Mr. P. Ashok Kumar proudly participated in this milestone event, reflecting our commitment to staying at the forefront of the travel industry.
Day 1 – Arrival & Grand Opening
On 17th September, Mr. P. Ashok Kumar arrived at Abu Dhabi International Airport, marking the start of an inspiring journey. The day began with the grand opening ceremony at the iconic Emirates Palace, where dignitaries and travel leaders inaugurated the convention with insights into the growth and innovation driving the global tourism sector.
During the networking sessions, Mr. Ashok Kumar met Mr. Amit Shukla, National Sales Manager at MakeMyTrip, strengthening our industry partnerships that directly benefit our valued clients.
The day also included a meaningful cultural visit to the BAPS Hindu Mandir, Abu Dhabi, symbolizing harmony and India’s strong cultural ties abroad.
The BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi is a historic and spiritual landmark, being the first traditional Hindu temple in the Middle East. Built with intricately hand-carved pink sandstone and white marble, the temple beautifully reflects India’s ancient architectural heritage while embracing modern craftsmanship. More than just a place of worship, the mandir stands as a powerful symbol of peace, harmony, and cultural unity between India and the UAE. Its serene surroundings invite visitors of all faiths to experience moments of reflection and inner calm. Beyond spirituality, the temple represents the universal values of tolerance, love, and brotherhood, making it not only a sacred destination for devotees but also a cultural treasure for the world.
Day 2 – Expo, Networking & Gala Evening
The second day of the convention highlighted the importance of collaboration and innovation. Mr. Ashok Kumar actively took part in the Expo Sessions, where global exhibitors showcased the latest in travel, hospitality, and tourism technology.
He also explored Abu Dhabi’s SeaWorld, experiencing world-class attractions that inspire us to curate enriching itineraries for our customers.
The evening was marked by a spectacular Theme Dinner and Gala Night, offering delegates the chance to connect in a cultural and festive setting. This memorable evening not only celebrated the spirit of travel but also created opportunities for stronger international partnerships.
Day 3 – Memorable Conclusion at Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi
The final day of the convention was both inspiring and memorable. Delegates wrapped up the sessions with renewed energy and stronger collaborations for the future of Indian and global tourism.
For our Director, Mr. Ashok Kumar, the experience was made even more special by staying at the Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi. Known for its elegant design, breathtaking views, and impeccable service, the property stood out as one of the finest in Abu Dhabi.
