This has been year of revival
December 2022 - 2022 continued to be a difficult year for the tourism industry as COVID did not substantially abate in the first half of the year. Ministry of Tourism took several progressive initiatives to overcome business hurdles and facilitate tourism to India from overseas markets. Resumption of the international flights and visas were giant steps in this direction. However, some countries like the UK and Canada till recently did not have online visa facility. PATA is a not for profit organisation and has extended a 50 per cent rebate on annual membership fee for most of its members. Some inbound business has surely started from the July onwards for our company. It was definitely slower and lower than the expectations but we are glad that inbound clients have started visiting India again. The year 2022 was not to make profits, as it was just a reboot and restart after a long COVID disruption of two-and-a-half years.
