ETAA, a professional association representing the retail tour operators in India, has always been vociferous about creating more and more opportunities for its members. Its objective is to bring the members, including OTAs, on one platform, organise knowledge sessions for them, and assist them in growing together. In the current scenario, ETAA seeks the central government’s intervention to help the industry. “The government must consider the value of tourism, travel, and tourism commerce in India. When it comes to travel and tourism, it affects a large population and a significant portion of GDP,” says Saurabh Tuteja, Chairman, Enterprising Travel Agent Association’s North India Chapter.
Future plans
The association is planning a domestic Fam trip, as well as a few international trips for its members. “We have some wonderful plans for the members over the coming months. We are collaborating with forums such as OTM and ITV, and there will be more knowledge sessions in new locations creating additional opportunities for members,” says Tuteja.
Vietnam USP
Vietnam is relatively a new destination for Indian tourists, thanks to Vietjet’s flight connectivity, which provides direct flights from Delhi to many Vietnamese cities such as Da Nang, Phu Quoc, and Ho Chi Minh City. People’s desire to look for new destinations brings good prospects for Vietnam. “Indian families are looking for new destinations, and Vietnam has done well as a family destination. It is affordable to Indian tourists. Post-COVID, they have performed admirably in terms of COVID rules and everything,” informs Taneja.He said the government must consider the value of tourism, travel, and tourism commerce in India. When it comes to travel and tourism, it affects a large population and a significant portion of GDP.
