INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS
By its intrinsic charm tourism is the one economic sector in India that
has the potential to always grow and to ensure consequential
development of the infrastructure at the destinations. It has the
capacity to capitalize on the country''s success in the services sector
and to provide sustainable model of growth. Tourism is not only an
economic growth engine but also an employment generator.
While accepting the above facts it can be easily seen that presently
the industry is struggling not only in India but almost everywhere
because of decrease in Inbound Tourism, It''s also a global effect which
is affecting this industry in India, as the preferences are changed,
people are not having surplus funds and they are saving for future
stepping into habits of Indian Population. With this adverse syndrome
the turnover of the Company dropped down to 829.47 lakh from 1027.95 of
last year. Inspite of all this the bottom line of company was not
thrashed and the company survived with surplus again, primarily because
of a well thought of Management mandate of resorting to cut corners so
as to achieve significant cost reduction.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENTS
The inborn human instinct leading to charm of visiting significant
destinations, be it for pilgrimage, historic/heritage , leisure or even
adventures will perhaps never recede in the mankind. Tourism is an
important industry in an Indian economy also providing employment to
millions of persons. Ranked among the fastest growing sectors, it is
also a leading sector for foreign exchange generation. Even when
affordable funds were not at hand for the tourists because of stringent
conditions, yet the first liking for parting money for Corporate &
pleasure tours, still remains on high priorities, worldwide. Not as a
sudden surprise, the domestic tourism has jumped ahead the
international tourism in many sectors, particularly Kerla, Rajasthan &
Madhya Pradesh.
The Company hence is quite hopeful to reap good quantum of fruits of
this nerve of general public who have affordable surpluses for
utilization for their leisure. Of course, the Company Management is
well aware that such hopes would not be sole strategy to achieve
desired and targeted results in Company''s health. Diversions into other
segments of Tourism like catering to Meetings, Conferences and other
lucrative events is perhaps the most preferred alternative. Any
diversions would require certain modifications and additions in the
necessary infrastructure required and also certain extra attractions
for the Organizers and so also participants. The Company has to spelt
out providing several VALUE ADDED offerings and expects an appreciable
outcome with such plans. A big leap has already been taken by
successfully arranging the Conference of all India Parliament Speakers
Conference in September, 2011, which was quite viable.

onslaught in inbound tourist traffic was abated consequent to the
