Tuscany is the third most popular Italian destination for visitors from India, with a strong demand for luxury and wedding tourism, but also for cities of art, shopping, food and wine experiences.
These were all the themes presented and promoted by Tuscany to over 70 between tour operators, journalists and airlines, by the director of Toscana Promozione Turistica Francesco Palumbo.

In addition, there were talks with the Italian Cultural Institute in Delhi for an event dedicated to Michelangelo Buonarroti and his works.
