The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the ministry of tourism are jointly organising the Fifth International Conference and Showcase on Tourism & Heritage here during November 17"�19. Rajasthan will be the partner state and South Africa the partner country for the event. | |
| According to the CII, globally the tourism industry is coming out of its post-911 slump and India must, therefore, seize this opportunity. |
| |
| However, the CII feels in order to put India firmly on the world tourism map, certain key issues need to be addressed. Issues like whether India is a tourist-friendly country and whether the growth of this industry can go hand-in-hand with efforts to conserve the country's archaeological heritage. |
| |
| These and such other issues will be discussed at the international conference. |
| |
| Also, on the agenda are issues like the state of infrastructurein the country, the evolution of new technologies, emergence of new destinations and changing consumer demands. |
| |
| The conference has attracted a number of luminaries from the world of tourism, travel and hospitality, apart from senior policy makers, who will speak and share their experiences. |
