This is to inform that during the Extraordinary Tourism Council Meeting held on 13th July 2012, it was deliberated that with the delinking of TCB and to have Budget for the functioning of the TCBS, Council decided to increase the tourist Royalty by USD 15 during the peak season (total Royalty of USD 80) and USD 10 during the lean season (total Royalty USD 75). The increased Royalty will be retained by the TCBS as their budget and the normal Royalty of USD 65 will be for the Government as it is.

As such, the Association would like to call for an Extra-Ordinary General Meeting to discuss on increase of Royalty, which directly impacts the overall tariff/  tour operators’ margin. The meeting has been scheduled on 18th July 2012 (Wednesday) at 9.30 AM at BCCI Conference Hall.

All tour operators are kindly requested to make it convenient to attend this meeting as this has a direct bearing on us. You are also kindly requested to inform other tour operators, who might have missed this notification.
