INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS

The inborn human instinct leading to charm of visiting significant destinations, be it for pilgrimage, historic/heritage , leisure or even adventures will perhaps never recede in the mankind. Tourism is an important industry in an Indian economy also providing employment to millions of persons. Ranked among the fastest growing sectors, it is also a leading sector for foreign exchange generation. Even when affordable funds were not at hand for the tourists because of stringent conditions, yet the first liking for parting money for Corporate & pleasure tours, still remains on high priorities, worldwide. Not as a sudden surprise, the domestic tourism has jumped ahead the international tourism in many sectors, particularly Kerla, Rajasthan & Madhya Pradesh.

The Company hence is quite hopeful to reap good quantum of fruits of this nerve of general public who have affordable surpluses for utilization for their leisure. Of course, the Company Management is well aware that such hopes would not be sole strategy to achieve desired and targeted results in Company''s health. Diversions into other segments of Tourism like catering to Meetings, Conferences and other lucrative events is perhaps the most preferred alternative. Any diversions would require certain modifications and additions in the necessary infrastructure required and also certain extra attractions for the Organizers and so also participants. The Company has to spelt out providing several VALUE ADDED offerings and expects an appreciable outcome with such plans. A big leap has already been taken by successfully arranging the Conference of all India Parliament Speakers Conference in September, 2011, which was quite viable.
