HOTEL INDUSTRY TO GET PARTIAL RELIEF IN GST

Hotel Industry To Get Partial Relief In GST

HRAWI Welcomes The Revision, But Maintains That The Structure Continues To Be Un-Competitive Vis-à-vis Neighboring Countries

Mumbai: The Hotel and Restaurant Association of Western India (HRAWI) has welcomed the revised GST slab on hotel room tariffs that effectively widens the tax slab of 18 per cent to tariffs ranging between Rs.2500 and Rs.7500 instead of the previous upper limit of Rs.5000. With the revision, the highest tax rate of 28 per cent is assigned to tariffs of Rs.7500 and above. Although the hotel industry was hoping for a more competitive and simpler GST, it has welcomed the partial relief. Along with the revision in the slabs for room tariffs, the tax rate for air-conditioned restaurants including restaurants in 5 star hotels will have GST at 18 per cent, effective July 1, 2017.

“This is unarguably a welcome revision. But, if India has to remain competitive as a tourist destination, this may just not cut the ice. While neighboring countries pay 5 to 12% GST or equivalent tax, hotels in India would be levying 18 and 28% GST. This may not augur well with foreign inbound tourists who are lured with significant deals and sops by our neighbors. We should remember that we are living in a very competitive world, and tourists today have a lot of choices,” says Mr Dilip Datwani, President, HRAWI.

It has been HRAWI’s contention that tourism is the one industry that has unlimited potential for job creation and forex earnings. With a more pragmatic taxation policy, the exchequer could stand to earn three times current earnings by increasing the base.

“So while the revision will provide hotels and restaurants some relief, we believe that the GST continues to be nonviable even now. India needs to be not just promoted as a tourism destination but also needs to offer value for money to tourists. With countries around us levying taxes that are effectively half of our GST rates, in the long term the tourist inflow is bound to suffer. We are still hopeful that the Government reconsiders the GST for hospitality after they asses the results on the sector, post the roll out,” he concludes.

HRAWI’S PROJECT PICKLE INITIATIVE RECEIVES APPLAUDS AT CSR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT & AWARDS 2017

HRAWI’s Project Pickle Initiative Receives Accolades At CSR Leadership Summit & Awards 2017

Mumbai: At a recently held forum in India’s Corporate Social Responsibility sector, the Hotel and Restaurant Association of Western India (HRAWI) won an award for the initiative ‘Project Pickle’. Initiated in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, the project is aimed at providing employment to over one lac self-help Dalit women groups in rural and urban India by sourcing from them the ubiquitous everyday food item, the pickle. Project Pickle was recognized as an indigenous, one-of-its-kind initiative at India CSR Leadership Summit & Awards 2017.

(L-R) Rusen Kumar, India CSR; Bharat Malkani,
past President HRAWI & Kabir Khan, Film Director

As part of the programme, the association conducts an advocacy programme with both its member and non-member hotels and restaurants to purchase pickles from self-help Dalit women groups. With an estimated Rs.65-70 crore worth of pickles bought by hotels in Maharashtra, the association has aimed at sourcing as much quantity of pickle as possible from these women. A month’s supply of pickles in three to five hotels provides employment to at least ten Women’s Self Help Group (WSHG) community ladies.

While accepting the award on behalf of HRAWI, Mr Bharat Malkani, immediate past President of the association said, “The hotel industry is one of the biggest employment generators in the country employing over one crore people. While eating out at a hotel or a restaurant, the pickle is served gratis on the table. So instead of buying the pickle from large companies, the association decided to encourage purchase from the WSHG community. This makes a marginal difference in cost to the hotel establishment but it helps in providing employment to a lot of women. Besides the social quotient of the initiative the guest or customer too will enjoy the authentic taste of the region from where the pickle is sourced, making this initiative a win-win situation for all.”

The event was inaugurated by Shri Ramdas Athawale, Hon’ble Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India and over 300 eminent corporate leaders, CSR think tanks, NGO leaders, academicians, Government officers, social workers, implementing agencies from across the country were part of it.

HRAWI LAUNCHES PROJECT PICKLE TO BRING DALIT WOMEN ENTERPRISE INTO SOCIAL MAINSTREAM

Hoteliers Supported By Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment To Put Spotlight on Dalit Women Enterprise

HRAWI Launches Project Pickle To Bring Dalit Women Enterprise Into Social Mainstream

Launch of HRAWI's Project Pickle  (L-R Shri Ramdasji Athawale, Mr. Bharat Malkani & self-help Dalit women groups)

Mumbai: The Hotel and Restaurant Association of Western India (HRAWI) has collaborated with the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment to provide support for Dalit women to start and sustain their own enterprises. And the medium chosen for the one of its kind social initiative is the ubiquitous everyday food item, the pickle. The hotel body will conduct an advocacy programme with both its member and non-member hotels and restaurants to purchase pickles from self-help Dalit women groups.

“With more than ten thousand hotels and restaurants operating in Mumbai, at least statistically, ‘Project Pickle’ could provide employment to 6.5 lakh weaker section women. It is estimated that domestic hotel industry buys close to Rs.240 crore worth of pickles, of which Maharashtra hotels’ share of purchase stands estimated at Rs.65-70 crore. One month’s supply of pickles in three to five hotels can provide employment to at least ten Women’s Self Help Group (WSHG) community ladies,” said Mr. Bharat Malkani, former President, HRAWI.

The project was announced at the conference and panel discussion, ‘Women Empowerment & Social transformation - Justice for Weaker Sections’ held today by Indo American Chamber of Commerce with the support of Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. of India. It highlighted issues and challenges faced by Dalit women and discussed innovative strategies which could both empower women and galvanize economic growth at the grassroots level. Coinciding with International Women’s Day, the Conference was participated by Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Social Justice & Empowerment, Shri Ramdasji Athawale, Mr. Bharat Malkani, former President, HRAWI, and Dr. Geeta Ibrahim Principal College of Home Science, Nirmala Niketan, among others.

“I thank HRAWI for taking initiative and coming forward with this innovative idea. This will go a long way in bringing about the much needed social equity and the principle of One Man – One Value that Dr. Ambedkar eloquently spoke about. Such linkages will help realize Babasaheb's vision of fostering equality in social and economic life and strive to bring about economic democracy," said Shri. Athawale. He also thanked the organizers of the conference, Indo American Chamber of Commerce and media partner - Free Press Group of Newspapers.

“Even if we begin with a pilot project in Maharashtra, this could become a case study for not only hotel industries across the nation, but for associations across all sectors. The hospitality sector is one of the biggest employment generators in the nation as well as one of the biggest contributors to the GDP. We will do our best to make a success of this project,” concluded Mr. Dilip Datwani, President, HRAWI.

LORDS HOTELS & RESORTS ADDS A PROPERTY AT GIR, GUJARAT

Lords Hotels & Resorts Adds A Property At Gir, Gujarat

Mumbai: Lords Hotels & Resorts, the fastest growing mid-market luxury hotel chain has signed up yet another hotel property, its twenty seventh, at Sasan Gir in Gujarat. Presently run as Vishal The Greenwoods, the hotel will come under the Lords Hotels & Resorts banner and will begin operations under the new management from March, 2017.

One of the closest hotel to The Gir National Park, Vishal Lords Inn – Gir Forest offers an unparalleled location advantage to tourists visiting the park. Located at a close proximity to the Madhuvanti Dam, the premium property offers 72 (no) of stay options that include stunningly spacious villas, luxurious suites, and plush rooms. Some of the other amenities include a mini theatre, swimming pool, game zone, a well-furnished restaurant and above all a great view of the Gir Forest. For the discerning guest, the Hotel houses an Ayurveda spa and even a shopping arcade.

The launch of this hotel follows the opening of a hotel property in Bharuch which the hotel chain had signed up last year. The addition of this property makes Lords Hotels & Resorts the largest and the most dominant hospitality chain in the state of Gujarat.

“Over the years we have steadily broadened our product portfolio in terms of the segments in which

the properties operate and also through the destinations at which they are present. Today we cover a gamut of hospitality products and services and the addition of this Hotel takes our tally of properties to sixteen, in Gujarat alone. We are perhaps the only hotel chain in India that operates hotels at an average interval of 100 km and provide stay options that cover a gamut of traveller segments. Through our products and services we have always endeavored to offer true value and feel motivated to continue working on the same ideology for each new property that gets linked to Lords Hotels & Resorts,” says Mr P R Bansal, Managing Director, Lords Hotels & Resorts.

With all of its four brands including the Lords Plaza, Lords Inn, Lords Resort and Lords Eco Inn that cater to the leisure, corporate, adventure and the pilgrimage tourists, Lords Hotels & Resorts offers a hotel spread that is unmatched in the region.

“Being the only region in Asia that is home to lions, Sasan Gir enjoys a round the year tourist inflow including foreign tourists. The region is a dry deciduous forest however the hotel has been developed in absolute contrast to its surroundings. With plantations of several trees and exotic plants, the infrastructure will provide the guest with a green and clean environment while in the hotel premises. The hotel also co-ordinates lion safari options for the guests. While the services and amenities will be at par with any other hotel in the neighbourhood, the tariffs will be much more economical,” says Mr Rishi Puri, Vice President, Lords Hotels & Resorts.

“We are aiming at establishing 40 hotel properties by the year 2020 and believe that we are on the right track to accomplish this target. However, our upcoming projects will also tail some of the Government’s plans to promote tourism. We also will be looking at setting up hotels in the designated smart cities that the Government has announced and renewing our marketing strategies to remain in sync with the changing traveller habits. We wish to make Lords Hotels & Resorts the most recognized and trusted hospitality chain in the world and we are half way there,” concludes Mr Bansal.

SOULFLOWER’S ORGANIC POTIONS FOR HAIR & SKIN CARE

Carefree With Colours This Holi

Soulflower’s Organic Potions For Hair & Skin Care

Soulflower - Argan Carrier Oil

Mumbai: Holi - the festival of colours and revelry is right around the corner. This is the time to enjoy abundant colours of the season. But, usage of colours may make the skin dry, dull and lifeless. Also, sometimes sensitive skin may develop rashes, blemishes due to the harsh impact of harmful chemicals in the colours. Prior application of natural ingredients can save you from the potential damage to the hair and skin. Soulflower’s preventive skin and hair care tips will be bliss to those who love to indulge in this festival of colors.

India’s leading brand for natural skin and hair products – Soulflower advices that with a little pre and post Holi care we could also revitalize our glow and beauty and here’s how:

For SKIN -

Soulflower - Castor Oil

A Protective Skin Coat: Apply generous amounts of Soulflower Cold-pressed Castor Carrier Oil on the skin prior to playing with colours. Naturally rich in anti-oxidants, Castor Oil is the perfect skin care product that works as a deep conditioner to heal the skin. High concentrated fatty acids penetrate the skin easily helping reduce dry patches thereby keeping the skin hydrated. The protective coat of Castor Oil prevents chemicals and toxins from penetrating the skin.

Skin Cleanser: To make your own skin cleanser, take half a cup of cold coconut milk and add one teaspoon of either Soulflower Sesame Carrier Oil or Soulflower Olive Carrier Oil and mix well. Dip a cotton swab into this blend and wipe the skin gently for effective cleansing.

Shower Power: While bathing, mix Soulflower Lavender Bath Salt with Soulflower Jojoba Oil and scrub the body gently with a loofah. Massage the face and body with Soulflower Olive Carrier Oil or Soulflower Argan Carrier Oil soon after bathing. Applying oil while the skin is still damp helps to seal in the moisture.

Soulflower - Jojoba Oil

For HAIR -

Protective Hood For Scalp & Hair: Soulflower Cold-pressed Olive Pure Natural Carrier Oil is the best solution for all hair problems. Take Soulflower Olive Carrier Oil or Soulflower Coconut Carrier Oil, spread on both palms and lightly massage into the hair and scalp as a leave-on conditioner before playing Holi. This protects hair from getting damaged, dry or frizzy from the sun and the colours. It nourishes and moisturizes hair leaving it with the desired shine.

Follow-up Hair Care: Post Holi, treat hair for added nourishment. Mix one tablespoon of Soulflower Coconut Carrier Oil with one teaspoon of Soulflower Castor Carrier Oil. Heat and apply on hair. Then soak a towel in hot water, squeeze out excess water and wrap it around the head. Leave it on for 5 minutes and repeat the process for 3 or 4 times. This will help hair and scalp absorb the oil better. Wash hair an hour later.
