Special Correspondent

TIRUCHI: A group of representatives of airlines, travel and hospitality industries have come together to float a non-profit organisation _ Tiruchi Tourism Federation _ with the objective of promoting the development of tourism and allied industries in the Tiruchi region. The federation would lobby with the Centre and State governments for the development of these industries in the region, said T.H.Radhakrishnan, Station Manager, National Aviation Company Limited, who has been elected president of the federation.

The federation, with 17 founding members, would meet once every two months to discuss issues relating to the industries. The organisation would also focus on tapping the potential for medical tourism in the city.

“We have also decided to host an annual tourism exhibition in the city and the first edition would be held by May-end or June,” Mr.Radhakrishnan told The Hindu after the first meeting of the federation here on Thursday.

The federation has planned to invite leading air operators, travel agencies and tourism boards from Malaysia, Singapore, Maldives and other countries. The exhibition would seek to promote and increase both in-bound and out-bound tourists.

The following were elected other office-bearers of the federation: Vice-President - V.Vasudevan, Managing Director, Sangam Group of Hotels; Secretary – G.Ravichandran, Managing Director, Tiruchi Airshine Tours and Travels; Joint Secretary – R.M.Ravi, General Manager, SRM Hotels; Treasurer – Jahir Hussain, Managing Director, Great Wings Travels, Kumbakonam; Executive Committee members – R.Venkatchalam, Managing Director, Naveen Travels; Vincent, General Manager, Breeze Residency; Donald Kurien, Sales Manager, Sri Lankan Airlines, and N.Natarajan, Managing Director, Fly Wings Tours and Travels.
