    Tourism the Growth factor in Hospitality Industry OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF HOTEL & RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION (WESTERN INDIA) FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION ONLY DECEMBER 2015 2 | HRA | DECEMBER, 2015 December 2015 PRESIDENT'S NOTE 3 President's Note Dear Members of the HRA (WI): Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, hope all of us enjoy the festive season with family & friends. RAWI has once again appealed to the Government to scrap all irrelevant laws and Hconcentrate on compliance on all relevant laws and procedures. The Government of Maharashtra has shown a strong commitment towards such change and we are hoping that the same will translate into early action. Maharashtra has been rated on top in terms of tourism potential by a recent survey compiled by HVS in association with the World Travel & Tourism Council. We look forward to the states of Gujarat, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh also moving up the rankings. December has seen a reduced inlow of foreign tourists into India and it's time that we as citizens of this country take an active role in understanding that our global image as a country plagued with law and order issues, diseases and adverse media reports must not overshadow the beauty that is our country and its culture. As long as we are not able to focus our energies towards positives we shall continue to get barely 0.5% of the global travelers to our country. The HRA and the FHRAI has appealed to the Indian Government to bring a slew of changes including GST of not greater than 8% for the hospitality industry to harmonize us globally.
