  • After taking a decision on developing the city into a tourist hotspot, the state is now inching towards a fresh goal — turning it into a dynamic destination for holding meets.

    With the recently concluded World Health Organisation (WHO) meet in Ahmedabad, Gujarat has taken one step ahead in attracting international-level conferences. Ahmedabad has hosted quite a few important corporate meetings in the past. This, perhaps, because of the economic activities happening in the city, as well as the state.

    Tourism Minister Jay Narayan Vyas said: “While the WHO meet held recently in Ahmedabad was outside the capital for the first time, Gujarat is increasingly playing host to a number of conferences. This is an indicator of how our state is being perceived by corporate groups and that we are gaining importance in terms of being preferred as a destination for all kinds of activities.”

    Ahmedabad alone has seen an influx of demand for ‘meeting locations’ and is thereby increasing a number of related facilities. Vyas further said: “The three and four star hotels under construction will add a whopping figure of 3,500 rooms, to the already existing hospitality industry in Ahmedabad in a year’s time. The figure is again an indication of the kind of demand that exists in the city. Gujarat will emerge as a prime location for conferences and meetings in a few years.”
