TTDC to Organise First-Ever Tourism Investment Conclave in February 2026
The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC) is set to organise its first Tamil Nadu Tourism Investment Conclave in February 2026, with an ambitious target of attracting over ₹20,000 crore in investments. The conclave will be held in Chennai or nearby locations and will bring together policymakers, investors, tourism developers, and industry leaders.
The investment meet aims to showcase Tamil Nadu as a high-potential tourism destination, highlighting opportunities across emerging and established segments. Key focus areas will include eco-tourism hubs, cruise terminals, and theme parks, with strong participation expected from both the public and private sectors.
To strengthen tourism growth, the public sector will undertake destination-level marketing initiatives to promote Tamil Nadu’s cultural heritage, natural landscapes, and unique travel experiences. On the private sector side, emphasis will be placed on developing innovative tourism products and experiential offerings that cater to the evolving preferences of domestic and international travellers.
A major highlight of the conclave will be the launch of a one-stop clearance portal for private tourism projects. The portal will offer a structured guidance and facilitation mechanism to assist investors with document submission, inter-departmental coordination, real-time application tracking, and time-bound approvals, significantly easing the investment process.
TTDC also plans to partner with a high-tech event management firm to deliver world-class exhibition and conference infrastructure. This will include dedicated pavilions, thematic zones, professional stages, advanced audio-visual systems, and enhanced safety arrangements to ensure a seamless delegate experience.
In addition, the conclave will feature cultural programmes, branding and communication campaigns, roadshows, parallel events, and on-ground activations, aimed at boosting outreach, visibility, and stakeholder engagement. With this initiative, Tamil Nadu is positioning itself as a preferred destination for tourism investments in India, paving the way for sustainable growth and employment generation.
