Commenting on the conclave Mr. Bijay Khemka, President,
Film Federation of India said, “The Silver Screen is recognized as the best
medium to promote destinations by more and more tourism boards. Through IIFTC,
we attempt to address the need for a neutral and credible forum that
facilitates interaction and encourages development of film tourism”
Core vision behind IIFTC 2013 is to create a national
platform, which allows international and domestic tourism boards, film
commissions and line producers to interact with the Indian film and television
industry to promote their countries, locations and services catering to foreign
shooting requirements.
According to Harshad Bhagwat, Director, IIFTC and
Director, Mercury Integrated, “We have received tremendous response for the
first edition of IIFTC, primarily due to our unique format of going to 3 hubs
of the India entertainment industry. Chennai, Hyderabad and Mumbai together
cater to over 90% of film tourism demand and tourism boards are looking for a
single umbrella platform that will reach out to the vast and diverse film
industry in India.”

thorough the year we plan to conduct many stimulating activities that would not
only further the cause of film tourism but will also give tourism boards and

Indian film industry.”
