ASEAN- India tourism exchange kicks off in Guwahati, puts NE at heart of regional travel plans

New Delhi, Dec 13 (UNI) Guwahati hosted the opening of the ASEAN-India Tourism Professionals Exchange Programme 2025, bringing together tourism professionals from India and ten ASEAN member countries for a week-long engagement aimed at strengthening regional travel linkages and positioning the North East as a key connector in ASEAN travel circuits.
The programme, organised by the Assam Tourism Development Corporation Ltd under the aegis of the Ministry of External Affairs, is being held from December 12-17 across Guwahati, Kaziranga and New Delhi. It focuses on building practical partnerships through business meetings, trade interactions and on-ground exposure to tourism products, with an emphasis on community-led and sustainable models.
The exchange follows India’s participation at the MATTA Fair 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, where Assam and the North East were showcased as emerging destinations during the ASEAN-India Year of Tourism. The current initiative seeks to convert that interest into tangible outcomes by giving ASEAN stakeholders a first-hand experience of the region’s tourism infrastructure, heritage and natural assets.
