The Indian administration is working on a proposal to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saudi Arabia to boost cooperation in the tourism sector. This information was revealed by Hamid Ali Rao, Indian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia at a tourism road show in Riyadh recently. It was also revealed that New Delhi will consider setting up a tourism representative office in Saudi Arabia at a later stage.Saudi Arabia is a key Arab nation for the Indian tourism market with 23,000 Saudi tourists visiting India last year.

“An increase of 43 per cent in the number of Saudi tourists to India was reported last year compared to the year before,” Rao said while addressing a contingent of Saudi Arabian Ministry of Tourism officials, Saudi tour operators and hospitality industry executives at the Sheraton Riyadh Hotels & Towers. RH Khwaja, Secretary – Tourism, Government of India and leader of India’s tourism delegation, was also present.

The event aimed to draw Saudi tourists to the many attractions in India, ranging from the Himalayas to Goa, and also to project the country as a world-class Wellness and Medical Tourism destination. In his remarks, Rao called on the Saudi tourists to visit India, which will eventually help “to broaden cross-cultural understanding.” The event was aimed at introducing a variety of tourism packages to Saudi Arabian citizens with a view to attracting tourists, according to a report by Arab News.

The Medical Tourism component of the event highlighted the growing and advanced medical treatment facilities and wellness centres available in India. The event was attended by top executives and officials of the India Tourist Office in Dubai, a contingent of tour operators from the Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO), Air India, Jet Airways, Taj Group of Hotels and representatives of medical and wellness facilities in India.

Prominent among those present on the occasion were Nasir Aslam Wani, Minister of State, Government of Jammu & Kashmir; Nawang Rigzin Jora, Minister - Tourism and Culture, Government of Jammu & Kashmir; Devesh Chaturvedi, Additional Director General, Ministry of Tourism; Vikas Rustagi, Regional Tourism Director - West Asia and Africa, Ministry of Tourism; and Atal Dulloo, Commissioner Secretary, Government of Jammu & Kashmir.

Referring to the growing tourism traffic to India, Ambassador Rao said that “India, which endeavours to maintain a steady growth in terms of the influx of tourists, received about 5.8 million tourists in 2010. India has fascinated the rest of the world and has been a store house of rich cultural heritage blended with natural beauty, a treasure-house of magnificent historical monuments, arts and crafts, dance and music alongside cuisine rich in colours and aromas.”

Some other calls it 'Taking care of our interests'...In a way I am happy that we have no 'Higher than mountain.. deeper than ocean friends'.

How you stick through with your commitments and promises determines your credibility. Else, what is the difference between you and a prostitute or a thug who would do anything for money and status ?
