While the pandemic taught various lessons to different people, it taught a large chunk of population the importance of domestic travel. When the world decided to close doors, picking up a car and travelling seemed the safest option – waking up the consumers as well as providers of travel to sit up and take notice of the potential of domestic tourism. Riding on the success of the same, the ADTOI – Association of Domestic Tour Operators of India emerged as a strong travel conglomerate and is striving hard for the development of domestic tourism in India.
“I am happy that the elections took place and that we now have two new dynamic members in our team and together we can take Domestic Tourism in our country to new heights. The potential and scope for growth of domestic tourism in India is huge and government too realises this now. With the new team in place, we will soon come out with a detailed action plan to meet our set targets,” says Mr. Khanna.
