Tourism Industry - Urgently Needs ; Nationalization and Regulations

Like Other Industries, Private Players like Hoteliers, Tour Operators,
Agents etc.  in Tourism and Travel Industry - These  private players

* have taken all the incentives from NDA and UPA governments
but have not pro actively followed the guidelines and directives of the
Tourism Ministry.

*  This is one of the fastest growing Industry with a major employment
generation but Consumers (tourists) and employees are losers and exploited,
almost looted, whereas Tour Business Men are beneficiary.

*  There is lot of BLACK MONEY involved in this. Payments given to
Tour and travel companies, hoteliers are unaccounted.

* Tourism Ministry is like a Tooth less Tiger like other Ministries till
they are alarmed by public cry and civil society activism.

*Private Tour Operators are taking Consumers - Tourists for granted.

* They are pleasing and bailing out foreign tourists at the cost of
domestic tourists.

* The Customer Protection laws  , Consumer Awareness are not working.
