With the aim of promoting the North East as a premier and unified tourism destination, the North East India Tourism Confederation (NEITC) has announced that it will organise the National Tourism Convention & Familiarisation (FAM) Tour from March 13 to March 18, 2026.
The event is being planned as a major initiative to showcase the region’s rich cultural heritage, breathtaking natural landscapes, and vast potential for adventure tourism. A key highlight of the convention will be the participation of official representatives, tourism stakeholders, and industry partners from all eight states of North East India, ensuring comprehensive regional representation.
The convention will bring together tour operators, travel agencies, media professionals, influencers, and tourism stakeholders from across the country on a common platform. Participants will be given the opportunity to experience the destination first-hand through curated tours across multiple locations in the region.
According to NEITC, the event will help foster stronger B2B partnerships, encourage community-based and sustainable tourism initiatives, and enhance national visibility for the North Eastern region as a cohesive tourism brand.
