Dear Sir,

 

Once again I am forced to write a review on the latest development in tourism sector, the excellent work done by the A&N Chamber of Commerce and Administration by starting Tourism Activities between Malaysia and Port Blair. This will be a great boon to the Economy of our islands. So as its reflecting, everybody happy now -good amount of money inflow, good amount of tourists inflow, excellent mode of income for IP&T , Agents and Airlines etc. 

 

But what about the pathetic condition prevailing in Port Blair - Kolkata and Port Blair-Chennai sectors regarding the high airfares and the number of flights? Only 2 flights in IXZ-CCU sector & 4 in IXZ-MAA sectors . Still airfares are so high. As already eveident from the observations about the advance blocking of seats by sya IC, Kingfisher, Jetair or Jetlite staffs and IATA agents, the Administration is doing nothing on this issue. For a 2hrs flight people are forced to pay more than 8000 and at times even 15000-27000 for a single passenger. Why our administration is not going for a talk with managements of all the airlines , so that for the mentioned sectors , airfares are revised and kept a maximum of say 4500-8500, atleast this range is affordable. And why there are only 2 airliners operating between Port Blair-Kolkata where there is so much rush of travellers.

 

A&N Admin guys are only going for tourists and tourists. They don;t give a serious look into the greviances of islanders. The problem is the entire administrative system is corrupt. they boast of many things and end up only benifiting themselves. What a tragedy!!!
