In an event conducted through e-voting, the Madhya Pradesh Chapter of Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI) was finally able to announce its new team after a much delayed AGM and election. It was the last chapter to conduct elections. The national body of TAFI will now get ready to conduct its elections.Sharing the reason behind the delay, TK Jose, MP Chapter Chairman, TAFI, says, “Our election was delayed due to some legal issues. It had to be virtual because of the current lockdown in the state.”

The following persons have been elected as the office bearers of MP chapter for the year 2021-2023: Hariom Jhunjhunwala as the new Secretary, and Mandeep Singh Duggal as its new Treasurer. “As the chairman of the chapter, I hereby assure my members that the new team will collectively work for the betterment of our chapter and will take up various issues faced by our travel fraternity with the concerned departments and the airlines,” Jose said.

Highlighting the agenda of the new committee members going forward, he added, “We want to work as a team for the betterment of the region. We will look at various key issues such as coordinating with VFS and the embassies to open their office in Indore (Bhopal) for the convenience of the agents as well as passengers. We will coordinate with the tourism board of various countries for a presentation and roadshow in future. This will help educate our agents. Before that though, we want to initiate discussions with various airlines to start a new direct international flight from Bhopal to Bangkok and Maldives. We will coordinate with Air India to reinstate the Indore-Dubai non-stop flight once the situation improves. And most importantly, we want to work more actively with Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board to promote the state as a pilgrim & eco-tourism destination.”
