AVS at TAFI’s Annual Convention 2025: A Milestone for Ninh Binh and Vietnam Tourism
Ninh Binh to Host TAFI’s Prestigious Annual Event
AVS is proud to announce its participation in the 2025 Annual Convention of the Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI), scheduled to take place from January 17 to 20 in Ninh Binh, Vietnam. With the theme “Tourism for Tomorrow: Protecting the Planet,” this landmark event underscores the growing importance of sustainable tourism while highlighting Ninh Binh’s untapped potential as a travel destination.
The convention, which will bring together approximately 400 top travel agents from India, represents a significant opportunity to promote Ninh Binh and Vietnam to a burgeoning Indian travel market. According to Ajay Prakash, President of TAFI, Ninh Binh was chosen not only for its breathtaking natural beauty and rich cultural heritage but also because it remains a relatively undiscovered gem for Indian tourists.
“Vietnam is a beloved destination for Indian travelers, but Ninh Binh stands out as a lesser-explored region with immense charm. This event will serve as a platform to showcase its unique offerings to the Indian travel community,” Prakash stated.
Promoting Sustainability in Tourism
The choice of “Tourism for Tomorrow: Protecting the Planet” as the event’s theme reflects the global shift toward responsible travel. As a leading Indian travel association, TAFI is committed to guiding its members toward sustainable tourism practices that prioritize environmental preservation.
“Sustainability is no longer a buzzword; it’s an imperative for the tourism industry. Through this convention, we aim to inspire our members to adopt practices that balance profit with planetary responsibility,” Prakash added.
The Consul General of Vietnam in Mumbai, Le Quang Bien, emphasized the alignment between the conference theme and Vietnam’s commitment to sustainable tourism. “This event not only strengthens the ties between India and Vietnam but also highlights our shared dedication to preserving natural and cultural heritage for future generations,” he said.
A Gateway to Unforgettable Experiences
Located just two to three hours from Hanoi, Ninh Binh offers a serene and inspiring backdrop for the convention. Delegates will have the opportunity to explore the awe-inspiring Trang An Landscape Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with other cultural and natural attractions. The Provincial Government of Ninh Binh has extended exceptional support to ensure the event’s success, including exciting options for pre- and post-convention tours to destinations such as Halong Bay, Da Nang, and the Bana Hills.
Fostering Bilateral Tourism Growth
The TAFI Convention 2025 is poised to be a pivotal moment in promoting Vietnam as a diverse and attractive destination for Indian travelers. By introducing the Indian travel community to Ninh Binh’s untapped potential, the event promises to boost bilateral tourism ties and pave the way for a new wave of responsible tourism.
At AVS, we are honored to be part of this groundbreaking event and remain committed to contributing to Vietnam’s growing reputation as a global tourism hub. Join us in celebrating the beauty and sustainability of Ninh Binh at the TAFI Annual Convention 2025.
