Get recognized by the Indian Government
In order to be a valid travel agent in India, the person must get recognition from the Ministry of Tourism. Haiku Solution will help you get this recognition, and it is initially valid for 5 years. A preliminary report and an inspection report must be submitted and reviewed by the regional director of the concerned state and 5 member TAAI team before you are awarded this recognition. Following the initial period, there is a need to raise the request for getting the recognition renewed or extended.
After the request is made, the concerned one TAAI member and a regional director will evaluate and review the documents and then extend the recognition period for another 5 years.
