Lots of talk about TOURISM -- but it has NOT HAPPENED and WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!
Congratulations to all!!!
Let's now not focus on the challenges we recognised almost two yrs now, but speak to how those challenges can reap maximum benefit from deep thinking, focused and real action, and efficient execution, mindful that sustainable or deeper sustainable tourism can, and must be the meeting-of-the-mimd goal -- a true and easy test of creativity/forward-thinking, Think Tank mindset, capability, honesty, integrity, and genuine love of responsibility and culture.
