Sultan Ahmed, India’s Minister of State for Tourism, told Khaleej Times that he is leading an Indian delegation on a special tour of the Gulf, to promote alternative medicines to the
Arab world. “Tour operators, financial and trade businessmen and others from the hospitality and airline industries in my delegation have been able to meet their counterparts in the four countries during which they have gotten a very successful response,” the minister said.
“We are promoting to the GCC India’s ayurveda, homeopathy, pranic healing, yoga, chiropractic and other traditional medicine to treat even chronic diseases. I am glad that these four GCC countries are responding well to our road show and will be sending a delegation of 25 businessmen, journalists and youth to India to see for themselves what we are promoting to them either by end of November or early December,” he added. Among the traditional tourist areas promoted in the road shows are the Rajesthan belt, the golden triangle, Kerala Coast, Goa, North Eastern states, hill stations, coastal belt, and heritage areas. He admitted that Air India’s recent strike had hit both the tourism and civil aviation industries, but now the issue has been settled and the airline is in full operation to all
Gulf countries.
The minister recently inaugurated the Golden Square Hotel Apartments — a 160-bedroom four-star hotel in Deira with a swimming pool, sauna, gymnasium, banquet hall and restaurant with coffee shop.
The minister told Khaleej Times that he was not surprised to see Indians investing in hotel business in the face of the economic downturn, as no hotels have been closed down during the
crisis period.
“Other businesses may fold up. But, no hotels have closed down during economic difficulties. They just continue doing business,” he said.
