Mumbai: Invoking the Prime Minister’s vision of taking India’s story of heritage and culture through tourism globally, Dr Mahesh Sharma, Minister of State with Independent Charge for Tourism and Culture and Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Government of India, said “It cannot be a one-way traffic when we talk of increasing tourism to India. It has to be a win-win situation for all of us.”
He was speaking at the ‘Interaction Between Tourism and Airlines’ - a first-of-its-kind initiative by the Union Ministries of Civil Aviation and Tourism, and Federation of Associations of Indian Travel and Hospitality (FAITH), organised last week at Le Méridien New Delhi.
The high-powered meeting was attended by about 50 top national and international carriers and stakeholders from the industry, Secretaries of the two ministries, Additional Secretary, Additional Director General, Joint Secretary from Tourism, and other top officials from the two ministries.
The meeting was aimed at bringing tourism and aviation sectors closer and devising a ‘draft of working’ where both industries work together for the growth of Indian aviation and tourism, create opportunities for India tourism for stakeholders, and unleash the sector’s potential for the socio-economic development of the country.
