The three-city roadshow showcased the growth opportunities Abu Dhabi presents to Indian travellers, while facilitating meetings between representatives from Abu Dhabi’s hotels, attractions, airlines, Destination Management Companies (DMCs), and India’s top travel agencies and tour operators.

India is Abu Dhabi’s top source market for inbound tourism. In 2024, the emirate welcomed over 360,000 Indian hotel guests, a 43% increase from the previous year, and is projected to welcome over 400,000 visitors in 2025. Indian travellers have shown strong interest in Abu Dhabi as a destination, with the growth in visitors being driven by an extensive calendar of live events, cultural experiences, increased flight connectivity from major Indian cities, and a diverse range of travel products that appeal to Indian families, luxury seekers, MICE travellers, and trade partners. This represents an exciting opportunity for India’s travel industry professionals to engage with a growing market.

Abdulla Yousuf, Director of International Operations at DCT Abu Dhabi, said: “The roadshows in India marked a significant step forward in our collaborative work with our valued partners to create memorable experiences for visitors travelling from India to Abu Dhabi. It also allowed India’s travel trade representatives to explore the innovative ideas and shared value that DCT Abu Dhabi has strived to create within the industry, a value that we believe benefits everyone and is key to the emirate’s tourism growth.”

Attendees were introduced to new and upcoming developments across the emirate, including highlights from Yas Island, Al Ain Region, Al Dhafra Region, and Saadiyat Cultural District, as well as exciting projects like teamLab Phenomena and the BAPS Hindu Mandir, which are expected to resonate strongly with Indian travellers in the upcoming festive and winter seasons.

The roadshow also highlighted the Experience Abu Dhabi Experts e- learning platform, offered in 13 languages including Hindi, which equips travel trade agents with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to effectively promote Abu Dhabi.

Aligned with DCT Abu Dhabi’s vision to create opportunities for its partners amid an evolving travel ecosystem, the roadshows supported the broader goals of Abu Dhabi’s Tourism Strategy 2030, which aims to welcome 39.3 million visitors by 2030.

Bengaluru, 8th September; A staple of Vietnamese street food, the Banh Mi gets a gourmet makeover at Candice’s Gourmet Sandwiches, the globally inspired brand crafted by Chef Candice Lock. Known for curating iconic flavours from around the world, Candice’s take on the Banh Mi is fresh and full of flavour.

Tofu Banh Mi Sandwich

Expect a crusty baguette filled with grilled lemongrass-marinated goodness, balanced by house-pickled radish and carrot, cucumber, jalapeños, fresh cilantro, ginger scallion oil, sriracha, and their signature house mayo, each element adding texture and punch.

Choose from options like grilled chicken, savoury pulled pork, marinated tofu, or the bold roasted cauliflower, each one layered with punchy flavours, crisp textures, and that signature Vietnamese balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and umami.

It’s flavour-forward, thoughtfully crafted, and a must-try for sandwich lovers across the city.
