Complementing the Finance Minister for her maiden budget, Sanjay Narula, Vice President, TAAI, says that more has been outlaid for infrastructure. “I appreciate the fact that FDI has been relaxed for aviation and surface transport has got impetus because if you don’t have good roads, the tourism doesn’t get a boost. In terms of tourism we expected more. On taxation there should have been some relief for the industry, which has not come,” he says.

Sanjay Narula enters the core TAAI team as the Vice President. The CEO of Apex Travels & Tours and a member of TAAI’s Northern chapter is absolutely delighted to be back in the Managing Committee. “I am overwhelmed with the confidence and support that the members have shown us. But it also puts a lot of pressure. There are several issues that have come to our notice such as the various taxation issues that have been raised by the recent amendments. But TAAI can work with the tourism industry to find out a middle ground and to seek a certain amount of relief for our members. I hope this will be one of the main points that TAAI MC will focus on,” Narula said.

Sunil R. Kumar has been re-elected as the president of Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI) for the term 2017-19. While Sanjay Narula has been named the vice president, Jyoti Mayal will be the honorary Secretary General. Imitiaz Qureshi has been elected to the post of National Treasurer. “I have been elected for the second term and therefore, the responsibility is greater,” Kumar said, adding, “members have expectations, so we need to work towards getting airlines closer to meeting their expectations. It’s a tough challenge, but I believe we are tougher.”  The announcement was made during the association’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on November 28, at The Lalit Mumbai. The seven Members elected to the Managing Committee are: Anoop Kanuga, Gurmeet Singh Vij, Rajan Sehgal, S. Saravanan, Bhagwan Ramnani, Anil Kumar, and Devaki Thiyagarajan.
