Trade Bids Farewell To India’s Oraw

This country’s travel industry has bid farewell to the man who has most prominently carried the flag in Canada for India’s tourism trade over the past three years.

A Thursday night Toronto gathering paid tribute to Anil Oraw, who has been the senior figure in India Tourism’s Toronto office.

Oraw is heading back to India Tourism’s head office after a tenure that included a rise in the number of Canadians visiting his homeland and improved air links between Canada and India.

The Toronto gathering saw a cross-section of the tourism trade praise Oraw for his energetic efforts to promote India.

There was no immediate word on a possible successor here to him.

Seen here are India Tourism’s Eugene Correa; Oraw; Oraw’s wife; Sue Kaila of PanEx Travels & Tours; and Liz Mandol of Total Advantage Travel & Tours.
