    This visit will provide critical learnings on how we can best prepare our state to welcome Indian visitors as the market continues to grow," she added

    The delegation illustrates the excitement surrounding the growth of outbound travel in the market and reflects the diversity of California experiences- from world class cities, to coastline to wine country to luxurious destinations and accommodation.
