'There's
US$ 6.5 billion in the pipeline for hotel construction'
Ambika Soni, Union Minister for Tourism & Culture, has
been associated with the Congress since the early seventies,
when she was a student leader. Later, she headed the Youth
Congress and held many important positions in the Congress.
After more than three decades in politics, she became a minister
for the first time when the UPA government came to power at
the Centre, and was given charge of tourism & culture.
In an interview with The Indian Express Editor-in-Chief Shekhar
Gupta on NDTV 24x7's Walk the Talk, she spoke about the
challenges of promoting tourism in India
Aviation
in times of global warming
The threat of global warming has led to global panic, and
even the aviation industry, with all its glories, has not
been exempted from public flogging. Reema Sisodia takes a
closer look at the impact of air travel on the environment
An
ode to the Himalayas
A land of paradoxes, India has a diversity that no country
can boast of. Travel companions, Gustasp and Jeroo Irani,
traverse through its length and breadth to discover the different
identities that make up a single and unique destination that
is India
South
of the border
Tamil Nadu sprawls out across the southern wedge of India
like an epic saga; a paean in stone dedicated to the gods.
The
Taj retains its wonder
Indians swelled with pride the world over when their votes
placed the Taj Mahal as one of the new Seven Wonders of the
World. But amidst the jubilation, we must not miss out on
the challenges that this event provides India. By Andrea Lopez
