Annual General Meeting of World Travel & Tourism Council, India Initiative (WTTCII) has appointed Oberoi Group President Kapil Chopra as the Chairman of WTTCII for the year 2016. Mr Chopra, who served as the Vice Chairman of WTTCII for the year 2015, takes over from Manav Thadani, Chairman, HVS, South Asia who completed his term at the recently held AGM in Delhi.
Air India Chairman & Managing Director Ashwani lohani has been appointed as the Vice Chairman of WTTCII for the year 2016.
Chopra said: “Tourism growth in India has been the slowest in 3 years and is only 4 per cent over last year. One of the most important interventions needed at this moment is the revival, recasting and relaunching the “Incredible India Campaign 2.0”.
“Civil Aviation and Tourism must be linked to address this objective. Delineating or isolating both these functions will not see the desired growth. Tourism and Aviation must be integral to make India an accessible, affordable destination,” said lohani.
