Sri Vijaya Puram, Oct. 14: The Andaman Association of Tour Operators (AATO) extends its heartfelt gratitude to Shri Chandra Bhushan Kumar, IAS, Chief Secretary, A&N Administration, and to Ms. Chanchal Yadav, IAS, Commissioner (Shipping), Secretary Shipping and Director, Shipping Services, for launching the 24×7 Online Ticket Reservation System of the Directorate of Shipping Services.
This is indeed a welcome and progressive step towards ensuring greater convenience for both residents and tourists. The new system will immensely help the island’s tourism stakeholders by allowing them to book ship tickets even at the last moment. It will also ensure that tickets cancelled at the last minute can be re-utilised, benefiting travellers and service providers alike.
AATO President Shri M. Vinod appreciated the Administration’s continuous efforts to improve digital and citizen-friendly services, aligning with the vision of Digital India and strengthening the tourism infrastructure of the islands.
