both

in

have
had
an

IIFA
is
dedicated
to
building
bridges
across
cinemas,
businesses,
communities
and
nations,
creating
everyone’s
dream:
“One
People.
One
World”.
IIFA
is
the
most
appreciated
South
Asian
film
academy
and
a
global
platform
that
gives
the
Indian
film
fraternity
an
opportunity
to
reach
audiences
in
international
territories.
The
alliances
made
via
the
platform
of
IIFA
provide
huge
benefits
and
gain
to
India
and
an
equally
important
objective
is
to
create
similar
benefits
in
the
host
country.
The
aim
is
to
establish
a
system
of
mutual
benefit
to
both
India
as
well
as
the
host
destinations
by
boosting
tourism,
economic
development,
trade,
culture,
cross-border
investments
and
film
co-productions.
The
IIFA
Weekend
&
Awards
each
year
travels
to
new,
exciting
and
beautiful
destinations,
taking
the
film
fraternity
to
unite
and
celebrate
the
best
of
Indian
film
and
culture,
thereby
taking
Indian
Cinema
and
India
to
a
wider
audience.
