The AGM began with the presidential address from TAAK President Rauf A. Tramboo, who stressed the importance of decongesting popular tourist destinations by promoting offbeat locales.

He urged all members to adopt ethical business practices and to be responsible ambassadors of tourism, stating that the industry thrives in harmony with the environment and local communities.
