The tourism landscape of Chhattisgarh is set to receive national attention as the Annual Convention 2026 of the Association of Domestic Tour Operators of India (ADTOI) is scheduled to take place in Raipur on December 12 and 13, 2026. The convention is expected to bring together prominent names from India’s tourism and hospitality sector, creating a platform for collaboration, networking, and discussions on the future of domestic travel.
The announcement was made by ADTOI President, Ved Khanna, during the organization’s hybrid General House Meeting. According to him, the upcoming convention will not only showcase the diverse tourism opportunities available in Chhattisgarh but will also open doors for meaningful partnerships among industry stakeholders. He emphasized that the event aims to encourage domestic tourism and strengthen Chhattisgarh’s position as an emerging travel destination in India.
Raipur, the capital city of Chhattisgarh, will become a hub for travel professionals, policymakers, tour operators, hospitality leaders, and tourism partners during the convention. Discussions are expected to revolve around new opportunities, sustainable tourism growth, and ways to further enhance India’s domestic travel ecosystem.
Supporting the collaboration, Vivek Acharya, Managing Director of Chhattisgarh Tourism, highlighted the state’s untapped tourism potential. He noted that the convention would serve as an excellent opportunity to present Chhattisgarh’s cultural richness, heritage sites, eco-tourism experiences, waterfalls, forests, and tribal traditions to tourism professionals from across the country. He also assured full cooperation from the tourism department to ensure the success of the event.
Meanwhile, Neelu Sharma shared confidence that delegates attending the event would experience the authentic cultural essence of Chhattisgarh. Extending a warm invitation to participants, he expressed optimism that the convention would significantly contribute to enhancing the state’s tourism image on a national level.
The ADTOI Convention 2026 is expected to attract participation from travel agencies, hoteliers, transport operators, tourism boards, media professionals, and other allied stakeholders from different parts of the country. Adding further value to the event, pre-convention familiarization (FAM) tours will also be organized, allowing delegates to explore important tourism circuits and hidden attractions across Chhattisgarh.
With a focus on promoting domestic tourism and showcasing lesser-explored destinations, the convention is likely to play an important role in positioning Chhattisgarh as a promising destination for travelers seeking culture, nature, and authentic experiences.
