Hosted by the Government of Madhya Pradesh, the ADTOI Convention revived hope in the growth of tourism in the temple town of Khajuraho and the surrounding areas. With the theme ‘Domestic Tourism: Billion+ Opportunities’, the association conveyed a singular potent message of ‘See the Country, Know the Country’. The convention was a sincere effort in convincing Indian travellers to consider ‘Country First and Overseas Next’.
The Convention was inaugurated in the presence of Nagendra Singh, MP from Khajuraho; Vinod Zutshi, Secretary, Ministry of Tourism and other eminent personalities from the travel and hospitality industry.
Promoting the potential of domestic tourism, Vinod Zutshi said, “The funds have been earmarked to promote domestic tourism within the state. Also, the soon to be launched tourism policy will support domestic tourism and its stakeholders in a big way.”
Tourists so far have been enamoured of the exotic temples in Khajuraho indeed, but the enormous tourism potential of the destination has not been adequately exploited, pointed out Nagendra Singh. “The government is making all efforts to establish a seamless connectivity to Khajuraho in near future. Air India has planned to start a direct flight from Delhi to Khajuraho from October to March,” he informed.
Successful promotion of tourism entails product development and infrastructure growth, said Jyoti Kapur, President, ADTOI. “Domestic segment is the backbone of tourism therefore it has a ‘Billion +Opportunities’ and this convention is an attempt to explore those opportunities. Also, the convention will help to reinvent and rebrand the association itself,” he added.
