2021: A revival is round the corner A s we are nearing the end of 2021, we can see the world is taking a sigh of relief, after the success of the vaccination drive across many continents. India too has surfaced back to normal after drowning in a COVID hell. And with the new gained confidence due to the vaccination, Indians are more than willing to travel and party again. But we must not forget that the hospitality and tourism industries need to be more responsible with their functions. The pandemic has changed the consumer mindset and now they are more conscious of: e e e Sustainability and environmental health Personal hygiene and sanitation Hidden costs The hospitality and tourism industries can sustain better than before if they are ready to focus on the changed consumer mindset and the lessons learnt. I’m proud of our fraternity that has not only survived a global pandemic without any government aid but has also made a dynamic comeback. Finally, we are hopeful for a golden 2022. All the best to our fraternity! Narendra Somani President, FAIC FAIC.in | October 2021 5

And we must not forget that for any business: Honesty is the best policy. the industry should try to On that note, I would like to appreciate my fraternity for their endurance, diligence, and patience. build a more sustainable Let’s hope for a brighter festive season ahead! business model.
