ADTOI Maharashtra Chapter elects new team, Chauhan as Chairman

The Maharashtra chapter of the apex national body of domestic travel and tourism, Association of Domestic Tour Operators of India (ADTOI) has recently elected a new team led by Plaisir Hospitality Services’ Managing Director Dharmendra Singh Chauhan. The new team has been elected for a two term (2018-2020) in office.

Thane based Chauhan has been elected as the Maharashtra Chapter Chairman, whereas Yogesh S Lele of Sanyog Tours from Mumbai and Nilesh M Sharma of Sharma Tourist Development Consultancy from Nashik have been elected for the posts of General Secretary and Treasurer respectively.

Highlighting the need to grow the chapter’s membership base, creating new business opportunities for the ADTOI members in Maharashtra as well as growing tourist traffic to the state, as some of the key expectations, ADTOI General Secretary Chetan Gupta while commenting on the new chapter team, said, “They are young and dynamic and are proactive with mainstream activities. They have set goals like increasing chapter’s membership base, liaison with state tourism authorities to work out strategies to increase tourist traffic to the state and to follow up the developmental works like creating proper infrastructure at tourist destinations etc. Also, they are keen to organize FAM cum study tours for members and to participate whole heartedly in all association related work.”

Outlining his plan for the Maharashtra Chapter, the newly elected ADTOI Chapter Chairman, Chauhan, said, “First thing I would like to do is to provide strength to our Maharashtra chapter. We as a team are working to increase the numbers of our members in Maharashtra. We are focusing to take members from all the part of Maharashtra i.e. Pune, Nashik, Nagpur, Satara, Kolhapur, Amravati, Wardha, Aurangabad, etc. We know we have many agents in these area and they are not aware about this domestic tour operators’ body. We are trying to reach out to them and ask them to join ADTOI and take their business to the next level.”

Furthermore, he said that the chapter is also planning to conduct seminar to educate the tour operators in these areas about working with ADTOI and what the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, is doing to promote the domestic market.
