Speaking on the occasion, Amanpreet Kaur, CEO Balaji Media said, “Love, care and respect have always been an integral part of an Indian persona. Since ages, we have been reverent towards our guests. Indian hospitality has always set unprecedented standards for the world to follow and imbibe. Hospitality India undertook a splendid initiative to honour the best from two key industries namely Hospitality and Tourism, and this is precisely what inspired Balaji Media to join hands as the Event partners for the prestigious 14th Annual International Hospitality & Travel Awards this year. India has always been a much sought after tourist destination for global tourists owing to the numerous ancient sites, heritage monuments and myriad tourist destinations that the country is blessed with. We have a huge rush of foreign tourists visiting the country every year from all nooks and corners of the world. By organizing an evening to honour the best achievers in the Hospitality and the Tourism Industry plays a critical role in motivating others to emulate the similar feat. The pursuit to perform and deliver better eventually does a great deal of good to the Industry, and as a result, helps in glorifying the image of the country on the global arena. Indian cultural heritage and hospitality have always attracted countless tourists to our dazzling and alluring pastures. Few years ago, Tourism Ministry, Government of India had launched the 'Atithi Devo Bhava' campaign to make people aware of India's rich cultural heritage and treating tourists like God.  It was a nationwide campaign comprising training modules and orientation programs, all with one mission of boosting tourism in the country by redefining the prevalent methodologies and hospitality patterns. This subsequently contributed in improving the country’s overall economy.”

Opined Dr Anuj, “Such Mega international level awards events also helps in addressing the various roadblocks of hospitality and tourism in the country that have yet not been attended to.  There is undeniably an urgent need to become competitive and far more efficient if we aspire to move up the ladder of tourism, boost the foreign exchange revenue and other related economic activities. We cannot be dreaming of upmarket hospitality and tourism without addressing the core issues. Medical Tourism has humongous scope in our country, and we need to promote India as a top ranked Medical Tourism destination.”
