FAITH Conclave 2026

The FAITH Conclave 2026, held at Hotel Taj Palace, on July 16 and 17, 2026 in New Delhi under the theme “Incredible India: Invaluable Economics,” brought together policymakers, tourism stakeholders, and industry leaders to deliberate on a shared strategic vision for strengthening India’s position as a leading global tourism destination.
