Multi-lingual Helpline for Tourists To Be Set-Up By Tourism Ministry

The setting-up of a multi-lingual helpline to provide general information and assistance to tourists was met with approval by the Union Tourism Minister K. Chiranjeevi.

To begin with, the helpline will be in the languages of the important source countries besides Hindi and English.

About Medical Tourism
Medical tourism can be broadly defined as provision of 'cost effective' private medical care in collaboration with the tourism industry for patients needing surgical and other forms of specialized treatment.

Chiranjeevi has directed that the toll free helpline should be accessible from everywhere in India and should start functioning in the new calendar year.

The primary objective of the proposed helpline would be to provide tourism related information to free independent travellers.

The proposal was mooted at a meeting with the representatives of various leading travel trade associations held in the Ministry of Tourism yesterday.
