Indian Ministry of Tourism rings in 2015 with phone announcements

According to India Tourism Toronto, the Indian Ministry of Tourism has finalized a plan for the use of satellite phones by tour operators in the country.

The Adventure Tour Operators Association of India (ATOAI) had previously requested the Ministry of Tourism to lift the ban on use of Satellite Phones for tourism purposes, as the ban had affected some adventure sports like high altitude mountaineering and trekking, both of which are offered in India.

The Ministry of Tourism also recently launched its Incredible India Tourist Helpline in both Hindi and English, a new 24/7 service to assist travellers within India.
