The Indian tourism industry is the latest who seems to have been bitten by the yacht bug.the Indian tourism industry which holds an IncredibleIndia week which is held for promoting tourism in India in this case Mumbai, this time they have chosen the Indian seas as an apt location to conclude the week long IncredibleIndia activity with a concluding yacht party on the Gateway of India - Mumbai.
The party will be held on the 1st Feb. 2008. India tourism - Mumbai in partnership with TAAI-Western Region & "Associations from different segments of the tourism industry like TAAI, IATO, Hotels Association of India (HAI) and others will be hosting the yacht party at Gateway of India – Mumbai.
20 yachts will be rented out for this occasion by the above associations. Although there is no confirmation on who will be attending the party, but one can assume celebrities, industrialists & senior Govt officials present at the event.
I think it’s a very big step for the yachting and sailing industry in India as I personally feel that the tourism industry is also starting to recognize the Indian waters as a great tourist destination for Indians as well as foreigners. It’s good to see the yacht culture in India getting its due recognition by Govt authorities and we do hope to see many more such events in the future.
