 Travel industry takes you places
The task of sending people on a holiday is serious work
for those employed in the tourism sector, writes Biswajiban
Sharma
THERE
was a time when a holiday meant fleeing the heat and dust of the plains
to cooler climes. During the sojourn, the family would mostly stay
cooped up in its salubrious surroundings, play cards, take the mandatory
daily walk up the 'Mall' and go for the weekend picnic at the edge of a
waterfall. The LTC changed all that; so did the increase in the
disposable income of the Indian middle class, the explosion of the
Internet, the travel bonanza on the Discovery and National Geographic
channels, the discounted airline fares and the mushroom growth of the
hospitality industry.
