The Ministry of Tourism (MoT) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with MakeMyTrip to promote hotels and stay properties that have self-certified themselves on SAATHI (System for Assessment, Awareness & Training for the Hospitality Industry) on the platform. The partnership will work towards encouraging accommodation properties to register on the National Integrated Database of Hospitality Industry (NIDHI). These properties will later be recognized with a SAATHI badge.
The partnership also aims at encouraging the local tourism and hospitality industry to follow all COVID-19 safety guidelines and practices as outlined by the Government. Commenting on the partnership, Rajesh Magow, Co-founder & Group CEO of MakeMyTrip said, ““We are honored to partner with the Ministry of Tourism to provide visibility to accommodation units which have self-certified themselves on SAATHI, thereby encouraging local tourism and hospitality partners to follow COVID-19 safety protocols and health guidelines.” MakeMyTrip will also support the Ministry of Tourism by providing valuable information on properties that can help in designing evidence based & targeted policy measures – with an aim to promote safe and sustainable tourism.
