On a
historic day in India, it is very hard not to talk about what
has happened. As many as 26 terrorists entered Mumbai, the financial capital of
the country on Thursday and have since then left the city in a state of chaos and disruption.
Two hotels, one of which the iconic Taj
Mahal is in tatters with it’s trademark dome almost burnt into extinction
and the other the Oberoi Trident still
holding hostages and hostage takers. The results have been there for the world
to see. A Hundred And Twenty Five dead and nearly three times as many injured.
From a business point of view the first fallout has been the image of Mumbai
because it’s taken a massive beating.
While India hasn’t been known in global circles as a premier tourist destination, a few years from now there could be many resorts on the list. It may seem unlikely, but I have seen India’s tourist future and it’s luxurious. Whether India intentionally wants to be Dubai’s top competitor for luxurious destinations or not, she will be in the running.
