India is well recognized for its natural resources, cultural resources with many World Heritage sites, rich fauna, many fairs and exhibitions and strong creative industries. India has also good air transport.

 

Travel and Tourism is an important sector of the economy and has outperformed other sectors in GDP Growth. It is also the significant contributor to the employment generation and the Foreign Exchange Earnings. In the year 2010, the Tourism sector witnessed substantial growth as compared to 2009. The Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTA) in India during 2010 were 5.58 million as compared to the FTAs of 5.17 million during 2009, showing a growth of 8.1%.

 

Subject on its role as a commercial organization is to construct and manage hotels, run Duty Free Shops, provide travel and tour services and produce tourist publicity material on behalf of the Ministry of Tourism and State Governments. Further, as a promotional wing of the Ministry of Tourism, it also plays a catalytic and pioneering role in the development of tourism infrastructure in the country.

 

 

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

HOTEL DIVISION (DELHI HOTELS)

 

Hotel Division of ITDC is major business segment. It accounts for 65% of the turnover of ITDC. In Delhi, subject has three hotels namely ‘The Ashok’, Samrat and Janpath and 3 Catering Establishments at Vigyan Bhawan, Hyderabad House and the Western Court.

 

The focus of the year 2010-11 for Delhi based Hotels was successful hosting of Commonwealth Games in October 2010. All the three Delhi based hotels were designated as the ‘Games Family Hotels’ for the Games. Accolades were received from the VVIP delegates from 71 nations who stayed in the hotels. In addition to the delegates of Commonwealth Games and International media, those who stayed at The Ashok included HRH Prince Edwards, HRH Prince of Jordon and HRH prince of Bhutan. The services were appreciated by one and all. The commitment was met with grand success.

 

Some of the initiatives taken in Delhi Hotels are:

 

·         Ashok renovated part of its inventory to match the new developments in the city by redoing its lobby, convention area, public lounges and 186 rooms.

 

·         In Ashok, 8 new rooms in a dedicated wing cater to the physically challenged guests, fully compliant with the norms across the world.

 

·         Samrat refurbished its rooms. It launched new ‘Pan Asian’ fine dining restaurant ‘SHIRO’.

 

·         Janpath renovated its lobby, reception, lounge and main entrance gates. It upgraded its Banquet Hall and Tea lounge lawn for medium size functions and also upgraded Business Centre operations.

 

·         Cuisine has been a forte, and value addition has been done in terms of coffee-table menu-books in 8 languages being introduced, as well as separate menus for guests and the host in the specialty restaurants.

 

·         Advance security equipment, electronic locks, electronic safes, Plasma/LCD TVs and New Property Management System - Protel were introduced.

 

·         Landscaping has been emphasised and efforts are on to bring in newer technology by way of energy saving devices, environment-friendly practices.

 

 

The renovation of The Ashok has been completed except 4th Floor which will be completed in the current year. No major renovation is planned in Samrat and Janpath Hotels during the current financial year.

 

Plans are underway for having a marketing tie up with an international player having Global brand identity, creation of new facilities by utilizing unutilized space.

 

Major threats, risks and concerns are the augmentation of anticipated 5000 rooms in Delhi NCR within the next 3-4 years, imminent price ‘pandemonium’ by Competitors, especially new entrants. Besides having public sector image, there are constraints working with the stringent and rigid policies/procedures and ageing and superannuating workforce.

 

 

HOTEL DIVISION (HOTELS OUTSIDE DELHI)

 

·         Subject has five Ashok Group of Hotels outside Delhi located at Mysore, Patna, Jammu, Bhubaneswar and Jaipur, two MoT properties at Bharatpur and Kosi and one Restaurant at Agra. Besides, subject has five joint venture properties running at Ranchi, Bhopal, Puducherry, Guwahati and Itanagar. One joint venture property at Puri is closed since March 2004 and has been planned to be leased out.

 

·         During the year 2010-11, major renovation was done in Hotel Patliputra Ashok. Major renovation of toilets have been planned in Hotel Ranchi Ashok. Other plans are renovation of 17 rooms in Hotel Kalinga Ashok at Bhubaneswar, renovation of lift and toilets in Hotel Patliputra Ashok and renovation of Hotel Jaipur Ashok including renovation of swimming pool, installation of new lift and heating system at Hotel Lalitha Mahal Palace.

 

·         High wage bill due to implementation of 6th Pay Commission’s recommendation has affected the profitability of these units. Major concern is the expiry of the lease agreement of four properties i.e. Jammu (year 2010), Bhopal (year 2012), Guwahati (year 2016) and Mysore (year 2023).

 

 

ASHOK CREATIVES DIVISION

 

The Ashok Creatives as in past played an important role in tourism promotion and developmental projects of the Ministry of Tourism as well as other clients. However, in view of the changed scenario of outsourcing by the clients directly, the quantum of work has comparatively reduced. More emphasis has been given to the execution of work of creative nature.

 

Advertising assignments were taken up for various Govt. agencies such as Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Culture, Central Pollution Control Board etc. Among the new projects, a 10-minute information CD on West Bengal Tourism in Hindi and Bengali language was produced.

 

On the design and print production front, the division designed and produced several jobs for various Govt. departments such as Ministry of Tourism, Election Commission of India, Nagaland University, CWG 2010 Delhi etc. and for various conferences of Ashok Events Division such as Cabinet Secretariat Workshop, Nirmal Gram Purskar Function, NAREGA, Civil Aviation, ASI etc.

 

The Ashok Creatives has taken up the assignments of mounting SEL Show at various places for the Ministry of Tourism/ various State Tourism Departments. During the year, the SEL Show at Purana Quila with State-of-the-Art Technology was commissioned and brought laurels to ITDC. The show is under commercial operation since January 2011. Progress has been made in other projects at Sarnath (UP), Deoghar (Jharkhand), Hampi (Karnataka), Ludhiana (Punjab) and Kanyakumari (Tamil Nadu).

 

The work for upgradation/modernisation of the SEL at Red Fort, Delhi is also in progress. The constraint is that manpower is not adequate and also not exposed to the latest developments in their respective fields through workshops, seminars etc. held in India and abroad.

 

 

ASHOK INTERNATIONAL TRADE DIVISION

 

Through AIT Division, subject offers duty free shopping facilities to international travellers.

 

Subject is consolidating its duty free business at seaports. Presently, there are three duty free shops at Kolkata, Haldia and Chennai Seaports which has been working well. The shop at Chennai Seaport has achieved a turnover of Rs.12.800 Millions in just 10 months. The operation of shops at Haldia and Kolkata seaport are at nascent stage. New shops are to be opened at Mangalore and Goa Seaports during 2011-12 and plans are underway to open the shops at Mumbai and Cochin Seaports also.

 

The duty free shop at Goa Airport is in loss due to higher rental and employee cost. The duty free shop at Coimbatore has done a turnover of Rs.12.300 Millions with a bit of loss despite downfall in traffic due to diversion of traffic to new Airports i.e. Madurai and Trichy.

 

Major threat is the shrinking entity and the reduced size due to which AIT division is not able to get economy of scale and besides it is also losing its attractiveness as a viable joint venture business partner for prospective international operators whom we need to be able to bid for future airport concession rights and go to the next level.

 

 

ASHOK TRAVELS AND TOURS DIVISION

Ashok Travels and Tours – a Travel Division of ITDC provides all travel related services like Air Ticketing / Car Rentals/ Hotel Bookings/ Package Tours/ LTC Packages to various Ministries, Govt. Departments, Corporate and also to general public.

 

During the year 2010-11, Ashok Travels and Tours has shown a phenomenal growth and has achieved all time high turnover of Rs.700.000 Millions, a jump of 68% over the turnover of year 2009-10 which was  Rs.480.000 Millions. During 2011-12, the Division has poised to achieve the turnover of Rs.1000.000 Millions and in order to achieve this, following initiatives has been taken:

 

·         Increasing the volume both in Air ticketing and Package tours;

·         Developing the online portal for the cash business;

·         Going big way to develop LTC packages for all regions and promote them aggressively;

·         Appointing GSA to reach to niche market across the country;

·         Expanding the activities of the existing offices particularly converting Mumbai and Hyderabad offices into full fledged IATA offices;

·         Inducing fresh and young professional manpower on contractual basis for the very expansion and customer satisfaction.

 

 

ASHOK INSTITUTE OF HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM MANAGEMENT

 

The Ashok Institute of Hospitality and Tourism Management (AIH&TM), an ISO 9001:2000 Certified Institute run by subject in New Delhi came into existence in 1971 for in-house training of staff and executives of subject hotels. The Institute became a strategic business unit in 2002 and started taking up training assignments for outside agencies in the Hospitality industry.

 

The current activities of AIH&TM are:

In addition, CBSP training has also been conducted for Uttarakhand Tourism, Nagaland Tourism, Himachal Pradesh and J&K Tourism.

·         Imparting on-the-job training to industrial/summer trainees from various professional Hospitality Institutes in the country;

·         MoU with National Institute of Open Schooling offering diploma of one year duration in Hotel trade.

·         Complete furbishing and upgradation of Institute’s infrastructure has been done recently.

 

 

Major constraints are lack of adequate infrastructure, limited subject Faculty Strength, Competition from private and Government Institutes and absence of regularization of the land in favour of subject by L&DO, Government of India.

 

 

ASHOK CONSULTANCY AND ENGINEERING DIVISION

 

The Ashok Consultancy and Engineering Division of subject works mainly in the following three fields:

 

a) Execution of Tourism infrastructure projects.

 

b) Consultancy Services to the Ministry of Tourism and State Tourism Departments for Engineering related projects.

 

c) Maintenance, upkeep, renovation, upgradation and expansion of subject owned and joint venture Hotels.

 

 

The Engineering Division continued to prepare Detailed Project Reports for the development of major tourist circuits/ destinations in various states of the country. During the CWG 2010, the Division is involved in a big way to renovate hotels mainly The Ashok, Samrat and Janpath and furnishing of additional alternative accommodation at Games Village Akshardham and Vasant Kunj, a CWG project. The Division has also been entrusted with the task of illumination works of prestigious monuments in Delhi for Night Tourism during the CWG 2010.

 

The Engineering Division is also executing tourist infrastructure projects funded by the Ministry of Tourism/ various State Governments in the states of Rajasthan, Mizoram, Puducherry and Andaman and Nicobar.

 

Major constraints are strict and lengthy procedure for awarding and execution of projects and the cost of manpower as large number of people need to be deputed for individual projects scattered all over the country.

 

 

ASHOK EVENTS DIVISION

 

The Ashok Events Division manages events, conferences and exhibitions both within the country and abroad and has established itself as a leader in the field of Event Management.

 

The Ashok Events Division has handled more than 75 events during the year 2010-11 including Civil Service Day, CCRAS Conference, National Urban Sanitation Policy Conference, Climate Change Conference, Public Private Partnership in State Highways, Round Table on Higher Education for discussion on draft legislation on innovation Universities, PATA Travel Mart-2010, Ministerial Dialogue on Presentation of Best Practices “Climate Change : Technlogy Mechanism”, 6th World and 1st Indian Organ Donation Day, 10th Indira Gandhi Conference, an Indian Social Democracy: Integrating Markets, Democracy and Social Justice, Centenary Year Celebration of Civil Aviation, India Evening at ITB Berlin, 2011, Award function of Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Nrega Conference etc. The Division also designated and fabricated various exhibitions like Petrotech, ASI etc.

 

Through its Event Management activity, the Division also acts as a definite catalyst in the generation of business for other divisions of the Corporation like Ashok Group of Hotels, Ashok Travels and Tours, Ashok Creatives etc.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

According to various estimates, the total demand for branded hotels in India as on date is about 2,00,000 rooms whereas the supply is only about 1,20,000 rooms. Therefore, there is a huge gap to be filled. Further, Corporates are likely to increase spends on corporate travel. With expectation of healthy salary increase within its corporate world, discretionary spending is expected to increase further, especially on leisure travel. Demand levels are also likely to improve in the coming year as the economic growth is around 8%. Thus strong economic growth, improving business travel, increased tourism numbers are all positives for India in way ahead.

 

The creation of niche tourism products like heliport tourism, medical tourism, wellness tourism, adventure tourism, cruise tourism and caravan tourism has served to widen the network of this sector.

 

The CWG 2010 was the grand success. With upgraded/renovated Ashok, we hope that ITDC will achieve significant growth in the coming years.
