To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 22 December, 2010, 6:13 AM Hello Everyone, We are pleased to announce the launch of the Luit Holidays Travel Portal ( http://www.luitholidaysonline. com ) dedicated to the NE Region with a focus on Community participation (via our blog) and Interactive Tourism.This is a result of the subsequent discussion we (myself, Partha Gogoi, Mr. Rajen Baruah,Mr Shantikam Hazarika, Mr Wahid Saleh etc) had on the FASS Tourism group some one year back and teaming up with Bhaskar Baruah, a great entrepreneur based in Guwahati, a senior from AEC days and a close friend. We felt there's a lack in approach to tourism in the region, be it infrastructure, proper marketing efforts, well documented information and above all a complete portal which can cover all aspects of tourism like: 1) Tour Packages (Inbound and Outbound) 2) Hotels Reservation. 3) Airline Bookings. 4) Car Rentals and above all a comprehensive database of well written articles on the region as a knowledge base. We also wanted to introduce the aspect of "Interactive Tourism" whereby a tourist gets a feel of living the moment at any tourist location that he/she visits. For example, --> Going to Kaziranga just for the elephant/jeep safari is incomplete unless they get a feel of the living lifestyles of the Mishing & the Karbi people who live in and around the Kaziranga National Park.... --> Going to a Tea Garden to just for the sake of viewing it is incomplete unless they experience first hand the art of collecting and making tea. Interactive Tourism not only provides an interesting way of promoting tourism but also provides a means of giving a rich cultural insight of the way of life of the Assamese people into the hearts and minds of the tourists. On the Community front, we want the North East Community to contribute to the portal by way of good articles (with pictures if possible) of your favorite locations/destinations from the North East Region thru our Community blog (http://luitholidaysonline. com/travel-north-east-india/) . We have created Categories (a few to start with) and also added articles written by our editorial board. Our goal is to make the blog the most comprehensive knowledge base for the North East Region developed through the efforts of the online community from across the world. The portal is again work in progress as we are in the process of adding the following: 1) Airline ticket reservation : We are in the process of a tie-up with the largest online airline reservation site in India. 2) Outbound Tour Packages: We will be integrating various tour packages to other parts of India and the World for the people of the North East looking to visit destinations across India and around the globe. 3) We have started building our own Car Rental Network ("Luit on Wheels") which will help us in a long way when it comes to the level of Customer Service we can provide with our well trained and groomed personnel manning the vehicles the tourists rent for their tour packages. Please visit the site, provide comments for improvement and also register on the site. That way we can send out new announcement/updates to the interested segment of the population and not spam your mailbox.
