INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

PATA ANNOUNCES GRAND AND GOLD AWARD WINNERS

 

July 27, 2013

The Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2013 PATA Gold Awards.

Proudly supported and sponsored by the Macau Government Tourist Office (MGTO), for the last 18 years, this year’s awards recognise the achievements of 22 separate organisations and individuals.

PATA will present 26 Grand and Gold Awards, with awards going to Papua New Guinea Tourism Promotion Authority, Rottnest Island Authority, Korea Tourism Organization and Travel+Leisure magazine to name a few. The awards ceremony will take place at the Jinjiang Hotel, on Sunday, September 15 during the PATA Board and Committee meetings, just prior to the PATA Travel Mart on September 16-17.

Ms Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Director, MGTO said, “Our hearty congratulations go out to all PATA Gold Awards 2013 winners. The list of PATA Gold Awards 2013 winners fully reveals the great dynamism of the Asia Pacific travel and tourism industry. The innovation and excellence brought by the winners will inspire the rest of the region to do more and better through this meaningful PATA awards programme.”

“The award winners have demonstrated a high degree of creativity and excellence,” said Mr. Martin J. Craigs, CEO PATA. “We would like to extend our warmest congratulations and we are delighted to recognise these achievements at the PATA Gold Awards Luncheon in Chengdu. All winners will be invited to be our guest at the PATA Travel Mart.”

The PATA Grand Awards are presented to outstanding entries in four principal categories: Marketing; Education and Training; Environment; and Heritage and Culture.

The Central Plaza Hotel will receive the 2013 PATA Grand Award for Education and Training for its “4 Cs: Centara Career Creation for Children” campaign. The programme has provided career development opportunities to underprivileged students through a five-month training programme intended to enhance their knowledge and skills in hospitality services. The initiative aims to expand the workforce base, targeting Thai juveniles who have the potential to become new workers within the hospitality industry.

The Environmental award will be presented to Jetwing Hotels, Sri Lanka for its “A Heartfelt Commitment” project. Highlights of the project include a central chilling system powered sustainably by a biomass boiler for running the entire air conditioning system of the hotel. Other initiatives include 100% illumination through energy saving LED lighting, solar panels powering room lighting, hot water generated through biomass boilers, and all waste water being treated via a waste water treatment plant and being re-used within the hotel gardens.

The Heritage and Culture award will be awarded to Sampran Riverside in Thailand for its “Sampran Riverside – an eco-cultural destination.” After 50 years of showcasing traditional aspects of Thai life for tourists, Sampram Riverside has embarked on a new venture: organic agriculture. Sampran Riveside has enhanced the use of traditional Thai farming culture throughout its property and the local community. It now promotes the use of Thai food, herbs, and traditional medicine without chemicals. Organic agriculture products produced at the property and by local farmers are available for tourists at the project’s Sookjai Market and Sookjai Organic Development Centre.

The Marketing award is presented to the Tourism Authority of Thailand for its “Discover the Other You” digital marketing campaign. This campaign aimed to inspire travellers to discover their inner desires and develop new perspectives on their own lives, while creating an unforgettable experience.

Open to both PATA and non-PATA members, this year’s Awards attracted a total of 165 entries from 60 travel and tourism organizations.

'STATE TRAINING SPECIAL FORCE FOR TOURISTS'

The Gujarat government has created a special police force under the home department to enforce safety and security measures for tourists, state's Tourism Minister Saurabh Patel said at the national conference of tourism ministers held in New Delhi on Thursday.

"A batch of 60 police personnel is undergoing training at present to ensure safety of tourists and also perform as information providers about tourist destinations in the state. A 24-hour call centre has been set up by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited (TCGL) to help a tourist complainant access the nearest police station to lodge a complaint... Tourism in the state has registered a remarkable growth rate of 13.62 per cent in 2012-13, which is much higher than the national average growth in the sector. Tourism management kiosks have been developed in all temple towns in Gujarat to maintain cleanliness standards. Public conveniences have been set up at petrol pumps on highways in Gujarat to facilitate travellers," Patel was quoted as saying in a press release issued by the office of Gujarat's Resident Commissioner in Delhi.

Alleging discrimination against Gujarat, Patel said the state was not included in the Incredible India campaign of the Union Ministry of Tourism and none of the tourist destinations in Gujarat had been projected at the conference, the release stated.

In spite of assurances from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to develop the world-famous Dandi route, no nod was being given to the government of Gujarat, Patel was quoted as saying.
