The three-day event will witness the participation of more than 2,500 exhibitors from more than 100 countries. “The Odisha Tourism stand at WTM 2022 is garnering rave reviews with its focus on promoting eco-tourism, handicrafts and handloom of the state on the global platform,” a government statement said.
