Jatinder Taneja, Vice Chairman, PATA India, says Indian tourism and travel sector is on a fast moving and growth-oriented trajectory. India's investments in building a strong MICE platform and establishing the country as the global centre for yoga and Ayurveda wellness has added new dimensions and offerings to enhance the uniqueness of Incredible India. This was said for an article published in BW Hotelier magazine of July 2023 edition.

February 2024 - The 44th edition of FITUR, which was held in Madrid has surpassed all past records in attendance. The India Pavilion was one of the biggest in recent years, and a number of private stakeholders, hotels, and tour operators indulged in B2B meetings and networking. With

June 2023 - Biggest setback
Calling it one of the biggest set-backs for the industry, Jatinder Taneja, Vice Chairman, PATA India Chapter, says that the incentive has not been reinstated so far. “SEIS or similar incentive schemes have been going on to support inbound tourism for the last many years in the form of EPCG, SFIS and SEIS forms. This incentive has been helping the industry immensely to stay competitive in the international market and generate better business and earn much more foreign exchange for the country. In the absence of any incentive scheme, the product in India will become more expensive and inbound business would surely suffer,” he adds.
