Hotel Association of India (HAI) has acknowledged the potential of India’s G20 Presidency towards contributing growth of the hospitality sector. MP Bezbaruah, Secretary General, HAI, said, “G20 Presidency is undoubtedly a huge honour that has come at a very opportune time for India tourism and hospitality. It will further strengthen India’s position on the global tourism map. It can only augur well for the Indian hospitality and will augment hotel revenues and receipts. Its cascading effect should see India emerge as a preferred leisure and M!CE destination. The Ministry of Tourism has creditably created tourism related side events to promote different tourism themes and to showcase the richness and variety of Indian tourist destinations—focusing on local cuisine, culture and craft.”
