ADTOI election on August 10

The Association of Domestic Tour Operators (ADTOI) will start accepting nominations from July 16, which will close on the evening of July 20. The Metropolitan Hotel, New Delhi, will serve as the venue of the election.

The Association of Domestic Tour Operators (ADTOI) is all set to have its election on August 10, 2016. Jyoti Kapur, President, ADTOI, revealed, “The formalities and procedures have been worked out and the elections have been announced for August 10. The last date for payment of subscriptions for this year is July 14. On July 15 we will have the electoral college ready. Then, on July 16, we will start accepting the nominations and we will be taking the nominations till July 20, 5 pm. And by 6 pm we will be announcing the list of candidates. On August 10, the election will take place at The Metropolitan Hotel, New Delhi.”

However, keeping in view the ADTOI election in 2014, which even reached the court, there are many things that have to be kept in mind. “This is the reason we have appointed a Returning Officer (RO), who is quite experienced in this field. Harbans Singh has been a former Secretary of the Election Commission of India and he has very comprehensively made all the rules to be followed by all the members. He is not only following the Society Act, but also our memoran- dum, and has come out with a very good action plan. We hope that the election will be successful as we have tried our best to plug every loophole,” said Kapur.

Kapur neither revealed any details about probable candidates, nor about his own interest to pursue for the President’s post this time around. However, he said, “We have been successful despite all odds and not only we created visibility about ADTOI, we also organised our convention successfully. Apart from that we even launched a new chapter in Chhattisgarh.”

Revealing further about regional chapters, he said, “We will be creating new chapters in Rajasthan as well as in Odisha. We want to spread our wings in the South as well and want to have our chapters in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. And I am sure, this way we will be able to give a boost to domestic tourism.”
