ITC Hotels Ltd.’s Managing Director Anil Chadha opened up on how the game of golf is playing a role in the hospitality sector in India. Speaking to NDTV at the NDTV Golf Pro-Am tournament in Noida, Chadha mulled the nuanced differences and similarities between what happens on the golf course and the boardroom.
The NDTV Golf Pro-Am tournament will travel across the country from Delhi to Bengaluru, from Mumbai to Kolkata and provide a circuit that is exclusive, and act as a platform for corporates to play alongside professional golfers.
According to Chadha, golf tourism is an emerging sector in the hospitality market in India.
“It certainly is a great sector. We own a beautiful golf course, The Classic Golf Course. We have hosted a lot of tournaments there. The whole industry is waking up. It’s nice to see a lot of youngsters picking up golf,” he said.
“In today’s tournament we have a lot of pros helping us on every green. It’s fantastic to see people making careers out of it. For people like me, we just come to chill a bit. That’s the objective. On the whole, it’s a good feeling.”
