neighbouring countries helps us in
providing 24x7 customer supports
to our guests. Our guests travel
with absolute peace of mind as
they know that we are constantly
available for them in case of any
emergencies or concerns that may

Over the past many years, we have

but also validates our reputation.

alliances, our guests also get
benefitted in terms of better prices

Aiding and Revolutionizing the
Industry
The biggest contribution that we
make towards our industry is by
practicing our tourism slogan of
‘Atithi Devo Bhava’. We maintain
highly transparent dealings with
our customers and offer tours that
have no hidden costs. Our constant
research and implementation of
latest technology in our business in
turn also elevates the standards of
services in our industry.
We contribute suggestions and
implement ideas through our
association of IATO, to work
towards the development of the
industry. Recently our suggested
project of adoption of monuments
has been initiated by IATO, which
will ensure better upkeep of our
monuments and heritage sites.
Our constant travels across the
globe helps us in understanding
the tourism in other countries
and learning the positives that

aims at contributing not just to our
of our country’s tourism industry
as well. For instance, we have
recently initiated a project based
on Artificial Intelligence, which
will aim at simplifying the travel
planning and booking process for
our travellers.
At AIT, our carefully designed
feedback system helps us to
collect important feedback from
improvements in the required
areas. Any tour program is a joint
venture of several entities in the
tourism fraternity and the feedback
collected on each tour is used to
bring about progressive changes
through the various entities
involved like hotels, transporters,
guides etc.
We also monitor and analyze
methodologies and statistics
on a regular basis. This helps
us come up with new ideas and
recommendations that can be
implemented by our tourism
associations and also at the tourism
ministry. For instance, we analysed
the tourism marketing campaigns
and related surveys from recent five
years and found out that it was time
that our industry branding needed
to shift focus from portraying India
as a backpacker’s destination to
that of more meaningful pursuits. It
would not only help in re-building
India tourism’s image but also
help in showcasing the glorious
heritage and royalty of India. Our
suggestions were well received by
IATO and they played a pivotal
role in putting forth these ideas
to get major changes done in the
tourism campaigns. Of late our
advertising campaigns have started
showing the Indian tourism with a
more royal appeal, targeting global
elite travelers and not just budget
tourists and backpackers.
We do not promote slum tours
and similar activities, which we
feel are not helping the society in
any way but have just become a
money-making means for travel
companies. Alluring India Tour
industry but towards our society
as well. We favor ‘Responsible
Tourism’ and also believe in giving
back to the society. A part of our
profits go towards promoting
education of under privileged
children in India.
Passion is the Driving Force
Alluring India Tour was launched
out of our passion towards travel
and love for our country. We aim to
change the perceptions about India
on the global front through tourism.
Nothing brings us more joy and
pride then to share the rich heritage
and culture of our country with the
outside world.
Future Prospects
We aim at promoting India on the
global front by participating in
upcoming global tourism events
in 2020. We will be setting up an
office in Canada next year for easy
access and support to our potential
travelers in Canada and U.S.
‘Women-only’ tours and ‘Senior
traveler’ tours are our focus areas
in the coming years. We also have
plans of launching a travel app for
the mid-segment travelers using
data driven Artificial Intelligence
for a seamless travel experience.
Today’s industry scenario
The Indian inbound tourism
industry has been a highly
fragmented market. However, with
addition of more qualified and
eligible players, combined with
efforts of actively involved tourism
associations and ministry, the
industry is on its way to become
more consolidated and better
regulated. Growing awareness
towards ‘Responsible Tourism’ will
help us all go a long way. Tourism
is the 3rd largest foreign exchange
earner for the country. Substantial
growth is expected in the coming
years for medical and wellness
tourism. While we are definitely
growing in terms of number
of tourist arrivals and revenue
generated thereof, we need to focus
on the ‘quality’ of tourism that we
