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
Archaeological 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.
