At a time when the realm of tourism and hospitality sector is reeling under an unprecedented situation, and tour operators which form a sizeable segment and almost 80 percent falls under the micro and small business entities, are facing an extraordinary existential crisis, the Association of Domestic Tour Operators of India (ADTOI) has formed a National Growth Committee to tackle these challanges.
The Five member National Growth Committee working under the patronage and advice of the President, ADTOI & Advisor NGC, PP Khanna and the General Secretary Dalip Gupta, would be headed by its Chairman Vice President-ADTOI Ashish Sehgal and helped by the Chairman of Madhya Pradesh Chapter- Atul Singh, Chairman of Gujarat Chapter- Pinkal Shah and the Chairman of Rajasthan- Syed Wali Khaled.
Guided by the KCO formula (Knowledge, Connection and Opportunity), Inter alia, the Committee is mandated to reflect, effect and ensure the efficient working of the 12 Chapters of the ADTOI, spread across the length and breadth of the country.
It shall plan out the growth strategies, introduce market place innovations in an effort to promote ADTOI as the brand for quality services and products in Domestic Tourism in India and standardise the best practices of the association and chapters so as to implement all-encompassing growth models equally and equitable in all the twelve Chapters of the association.
Speaking over the need of NGC formation, ADTOI President PP Khanna says that to confront the challenges thrown open, especially in the wake of the post pandemic realities of a changing dynamic of customers’ demands exacerbated by the OTAs, the need is increasingly being felt by the ADTOI to gainfully utilise the market forces and to implement the standardised formats across the association and chapters to benefit the Indian tourism stakeholders in general and tour operators in specific.
