The Oslo Roadshow was an intimate and personal lunch event which took place at the grandiose Grand Hotel Oslo. 16 guests were selected to join the event, half of them from the Norwegian travel trade and the other half consisting of selected key journalists and influencers. Present at both events were also representatives from Incredible Design and Madhya Pradesh Tourism.
