Reema Sisodia -Mumbai
Rail
Europe recently conducted a road show focused focused on the southern circuit.
The roadshow was conducted in Chennai and Bangalore and proved to be a successful
business building exercise. Speaking about the potential in the south and its
future plans Gopi R Ienger, area manager (India and South Asia) of Rail Europe
4A - India Laison Office, said,
Our two city roadshow in the south proved to be highly
encouraging. We received tremendous response from the agents in the south. We
had targeted approximately 50 agents who would be part of the roadshow but we
were pleased to receive presentation from 70 agents at the roadshow. The increase
in airline connectivity from between India and Europe has increased traffic
from the southern market. Our top GSAs were also pleased with the event
as they also were successful in building their business network. Rail
Europe finds the southern belt a promising business ground as their targeted
40 per cent growth is being fuelled by the southern market. Though as of now
the southern belt percentage is below th west and the north but it is regarded
to be the fastest growing market. Rail Europe also plans to make its presence
felt in Hyderabad in November 2005.
