The Indian tourism industry, though commenced with a slow growth at the start of the millennium, performed quite well in the succeeding years. A 5,000 year history, culture, religion and alternative medicine fascinate both budget and luxury travelers alike. It is boom time for India's Tourism and Hospitality sector. Every year 4 to 5 million foreigners visit India especially with a soaring interes
t in India as a tourist destination. India is thus fast emerging as one of the most enticing destinations for the global leisure traveler. Despite lagging in the basic infrastructure that supports the tourism industry; Indian tourism industry has been showing an impressive double-digit growth. As per estimates of the Ministry of Tourism, on an average, about 3.1 million additional jobs per year have been created directly and indirectly in the tourism sector in the last few years. In order to sustain this growth and meet the expectations, the Government of India and most of the state governments in the nation promote investments in infrastructure such as transport and accommodations both in private and public sector. According to HVS International, the global hotel and hospitality consulting firm, the strong performance in tourist arrivals during the decade can be attributed to a strong sense of business and investment confidence in India in the field of hotel and hospitality. It is also to be noted that as an engine for economic growth, the tourism and hospitality sector cuts across the rural urban divide, and bridges economic boundaries. The Hotel Industry comprises a major part of the Tourism industry. Historically viewed as an industry providing a luxury service valuable to the economy only as a foreign exchange earner, the industry today contributes directly to employment (directly employing around 0.20 million people), and indirectly facilitates tourism and commerce. Most of the travelers to India are from developing and developed countries. To attract them and to make them to extend their stays in the Country the Hotels we construct and maintain should be of international standards. In such places hygiene is of utmost importance. Stainless steel products play an active role in improving the hygiene in restaurants, public kitchen, schools, local health centers etc. One of the outstanding benefits of stainless steel in case of taste or odor from one batch of food to the next batch is the readiness with which its surface can be cleaned free of soil and bacteria. This is of particular hygienic importance in food handling. It resists aggressive fluids, abrasive materials and impacting utensils, to give off no undesirable compounds and to maintain its attractive appearance. Ability of Stainless steel to meet these demands led to the material’s acceptance as the number one choice in the food service industry. Considering these features of stainless steel to maintain hygiene in food processing area and equipments, the international standard requires the entire catering and kitchen equipments in high grade stainless steel materials.
