Valuable inputs were received from the panellists who were also of the views that if all the stakeholders come together to support each other during such testing times, the industry can bounce back stronger than ever. Domestic tourism is bound to revive first and so is India as a destination. We are confident that together we shall overcome and bounce back stronger. All the panellists were unanimous that more than what we do, it is important to properly communicate and convince the world and prospective travellers that they are safe while travelling to India.
Addressing the panellist, Mr. G Kamala Vardhana Rao, C&MD, ITDC said, “The confidence quotient has to come back to the traveller to bring back the same. ITDC has already completed a holistic training program on sanitization and hygiene in all its units for the concerned employees and has developed a SOP to be followed to handle the present situation.
