USA

The US has traditionally seen high VFR movement from India. But of late the destination is witnessing an increasing number of MICE groups from India. This comes as a direct result of the US Consulate making strategic changes in its effort to broaden the base of incoming Indian traffic. Deanna Abdeen, Deputy Principal Officer, US Consulate General Mumbai, talks about making the visa application process transparent, thereby bringing about a change in perception in the minds of business travellers as well as the agents.
