Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority has wrapped up a four-city India roadshow covering New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad. The initiative engaged over 300 Indian travel professionals and strengthened ties with the market, which has seen a 25 per cent year-on-year rise in visitors. The roadshow focused on boosting MICE, wedding, and leisure travel to the Emirate.

Ras Al Khaimah TourismDevelopment Authority (RAKTDA) concluded a four-city roadshow across India between July 21 and 25, aimed at strengthening ties with one of its most significant source markets. The promotional tour spanned New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad, targeting theMICE, wedding, and leisure travel segments.

The roadshow brought together over 300 Indian travel professionals, including event planners, tour operators, and MICE agents, for in-depth discussions and networking sessions. Hotel partners and local DMCs joined the RAKTDA delegation, facilitating direct engagement with the Indian travel trade through one-on-one meetings, presentations, and networking dinners.

“This India roadshow underscores our commitment to the Indian market and its potential to support Ras Al Khaimah’s long-termtourism strategy,” said Raki Phillips, CEO of RAKTDA. “The response from partners has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly in the weddings and MICE categories.”

India continues to play a crucial role in the Emirate’s tourism landscape, contributing to a 25 per cent rise in Indian arrivals year-to-date in 2025. This follows a strong 2024 performance, where Ras Al Khaimah welcomed 1.28 million overnight visitors, and MICE business grew by 40 per cent year-on-year.

Direct connectivity has been instrumental in this growth, with IndiGo currently operating flights from Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Kochi to Ras Al Khaimah International Airport. These routes are seen as key to attracting more Indian travellers seeking premium leisure experiences or planning destination weddings.

Ras Al Khaimah continues to expand its appeal through nature-driven and adventure-based tourism. The Emirate’s diverse portfolio—from the world’s longest zipline on Jebel Jais to heritage attractions and desert escapes—has contributed to its rising popularity among Indian visitors.

With the goal of attracting 3.5 million visitors annually by 2030, RAKTDA plans continued investment in aviation partnerships, strategic alliances, and targeted campaigns to engage the Indian travel market.
