WZCC Annual Recognition Awards

In the words of Adi Engineer, our Pune Chapter Chair, “The respect and recognition that a community enjoys is not only determined by its economic prosperity, but by the stature and ethics of its achievers.”

The World Zarathushti Chamber of Commerce (WZCC) Annual Recognition Program was developed to recognize achievers who distinguish themselves in their respective fields, whether they are Professionals, Business People or Entrepreneurs.

WZCC recognizes leading stalwarts every year at their AGMs in the city where it is hosted. The 2008 program is open for nominations and the winners will be recognised at the WZCC AGM in Houston, USA in December 2008.

The WZCC website www.wzcc.net carries detailed guidelines on the Recognition Program and we encourage members of our community to use this platform to nominate their peers.  There are no losers in this program, to be nominated is in itself a form of recognition. The criteria for nominations for the year 2008 are available on the website. The last date for nominations is 31 July 2008. Please send in your nominations (the nominees need not be members of WZCC) and encourage your friends and relatives to do likewise before the due date.

This program is conducted and supervised by the Australian Chapter of the WZCC.  As its Chapter Chair, I look forward to receiving your nomination.

=====================================================================

Hotel Connections is the “Marketing Representative” of various hotels all over India. It ties up with hotels not having any sales representations at Bombay and then promotes these hotels to Travel Agents, Corporate Houses and the Individual Traveler.

There are many small and large individually owned (non-chain) hotels that do not have the infrastructure or the expertise to promote their properties in cities all over India. Similarly Travel Agents, Corporate Houses and the Individual Traveler too find it inconvenient to book different hotels at different places for one particular traveler visiting various places. For example, if a family is going to Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Udaipur and he has different requirements for the type of hotels at each place, then the Travel Agent booking this family may have a tough time sourcing different hotels in different categories at each place. He cannot risk booking his client in just about any hotel, for fear of the hotel to not be upto the mark of his client and thereby loosing the client. Similarly if the family itself would like to do the booking directly through the Internet, they would still be wary, because they would not be having much of an idea about the hotels. This is exactly where Hotel Connections comes into the picture. When a Travel Agent, or even an Individual family makes their bookings through Hotel Connections, they are assured that the hotels that they are being booked into are hotels that have all being properly checked and meet the requirements of the guests.

Besides Hotel Reservations, Hotel Connections also takes care of all other tourist requirements, like air ticketing, booking a car or bus for sightseeing, planning an itinerary, or even arranging an entire package tour.

The network of Hotel Connections is not restricted just to Bombay, its clientele comprises of Travel Agents from cities all over Maharashtra and Gujarat and also from a few cities in Madhya Pradesh and states down South.

The hallmark of Hotel Connections is to provide prompt and personalized service and more importantly to patiently cater to each and every query that a person may have and also offer suggestions - something that booking through the internet will not provide. For this a person does not have to necessarily go to the Hotel Connections office. All his inquiries can be answered to over the telephone and the booking too can be made over the telephone. Then once the bookings are taken care off, the vouchers are delivered to the person and the payment collected.

Hotel Connections is led by Ashdin H. Dodhy, whose educational background is in “Hotel & Tourism Management” and “Marketing & Business Management” and with an experience of over Two Decades in this industry. The other team members of Hotel Connections also comprise of committed professionals with educational backgrounds and training in the tourism industry.
