EVENTS AND INITIATIVES

Cross Section Media has been in publishing for over 50 years. We started with Cross-Section, as a current affairs publication and soon thereafter, with Destination India, a tourism specific publication. 

Over the years, we diversified into other titles like CityScan, India Debates, Travel Trends and India Global. These have been since discontinued. 

We also launched India’s first ever travel mart, SATTE, which we ran for over 18 years before exiting from that show. During our innings, we hosted 4500+ international tour operators from over 50 countries and made SATTE as the biggest travel show at that time in this part of the world.

Presently, we run BITB Conclaves as a travel, tourism and hospitality vertical, bringing senior industry leadership to share ideas on trends in travel. BITB has run 21 editions. 

We also publish Destination India Tourism Exchange (DITE), which joins the dots between various verticals in the larger tourism product of India, explores the potential of tourism as a soft power with our neighbours and the world at large. 

We also publish Cross Section Conversations (CS) as a web driven magazine on contemporary issues and concerns. 

Both DITE and CS Conversations are essentially digital publications with limited print distribution.

We continue our engagement as a serious endeavour for advocacy of tourism. We publish coffee table books and provide turn key services in publishing for others, whatever be the requirement.
