ATITHI DEVO BHAVAH
New Delhi: Atithi Devo Bhavah. To make visitors to the city feel welcome during the
Commonwealth Games, India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) is set to train taxi and
auto drivers, CISF personnel posted at monuments, dhaba owners, hotel staff etc. Participants
will be taught English as well as courtesy and ways to communicate with tourists. At present,
there is a shortage of trained guides in the city and with Commonwealth Games drawing close,
the issue has to be addressed promptly.
With hundreds of historical sites to visit and each monument boasting its own unique history,
foreign nationals are often left to fend for themselves and depend on tourist books and
brochures for information. Language is another problem. Quite a contrast to facilities offered in
tourist sites in western countries, where trained guides-proficient in several languages-are easily
available to aid visitors apart from group-guided trips at regular intervals. Although the
Archeological Survey of India (ASI) plans to introduce audio guide services in five languages at
some world heritage sites our experts point that not a single monument or tourist place in the
city has an interpretation centre where tourists can come and get all information pertaining to a
particular site. ASI is also in the process of bringing out more brochures and guides for foreign
visitors in the city. Experts say such facilities are crucial if the government wants to promote
Delhi as a 'heritage city'. Various agencies like INTACH are also involved in the plans.
Under ITDC's plans, etiquette training for the Games will also be provided to residents who offer
rooms to foreigners under Delhi government's bed and breakfast scheme. "House-owners will
be given hospitality related training and a brief of Indian tourism scenario. Most visitors
generally question their hosts on information about the city so they will be provided information
on the golden triangle- Delhi, Agra and Jaipur as well as where tourists should go visiting in
Delhi," said an official.
