The 2014 edition of the International Indian Film Academy awards is set to make its maiden trip to the USA. The multi-day gala will be held at the Tampa Bay in Florida, and is expected to entice thousands to book flights tickets and land here.
Bollywood lovers in the USA are up for a good time as the International Indian Film Academy awards are all set to march towards the country for its 2014 edition. This will be the first time India’s showbiz glitterati would be boarding USA bound flights for the IIFA.
Those who have plans for USA holidays in 2014 and are likely to board flights around the month of June next year can hope to unravel this massive spectacle at the Tampa Bay in Florida.
Bollywood has a huge fan base in the USA and the authorities in the country hope to cash it in. Officials in Tampa are hopeful that the coveted event will be able to attract a number of fans from all over the USA, encouraging them to book flights tickets and land here. It is also expected that hardcore fans will be grabbing flights tickets even from European cities.
Indian films are turning global with a fast increasing fan base all over the globe and not just the USA. The 2013 event was held in Macau. IIFA has travelled to four continents including Africa, Europe, Asia and North America in its decade and a half years of existence.
“Bollywood” is a moniker for India’s Mumbai-based Hindi film industry that is celebrated widely for its song-and-dance extravaganzas.
The multi-day event will also witness various other programmes and events apart from the awards ceremony, which sure are going to act as tickets for people who wish to grab flights of fancy to a mythical land of colourful extravaganza.
