INDIA Tourism’s Australian operations are set to close as part of a worldwide rationalisation of overseas offices.
The organisation’s Sydney office is among seven locations being wound up, with others including Los Angeles, Toronto, Paris and Johannesburg facing the axe.
India Link reports the Australian market will now be served from Singapore, which will remain alongside offices in New York, Dubai, Frankfurt, Beijing, Tokyo and London.
It says India’s Tourism Minister Alphons Kannanthanam has confirmed the closure “in the near future”, while also announcing plans to open a new office in Moscow.
