LAYING THE ROADMAP
The Indian Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) has played a pivotal role in the creation and advance of tourism infrastructure in India. It has been responsible for synchronising the work undertaken by the governments of different states as well as their tourism departments, and also for the planning and implementation of new tourism-related projects.
START OF THE JOURNEY
In 1946, a government report noted that it would be in India's best interests to develop and enhance tourist traffic from both domestic and international locations. Three corporations -- the India Tourism Hotel Corporation of India, the India Tourism Corporation and the India Tourism and Transport Undertaking -- were set up in 1956. In 1966, these were merged into a single undertaking by the government of India-ITDC. Today, this organisation remains one of the few consistently profit-making public sector entities.
