Citrus, FABS in tie-up

Citrus Check Inns, a part of Mirah group, has tied-up with Fazlani Altius Business School (FABS) for providing training in the travel industry. The first batch will consist of 30 students. Mr Somnath Pal, CEO, Citrus Check Inns said, “Though the travel industry contributes 9.1 per cent to the country’s GDP, concepts such as ‘Timeshare’, derived from the European subcontinent, are still nascent here in India. There is a lack of awareness of the concept and many premier travel management institutes do not have any curriculum related to ‘Timeshare’. Through this initiative, we plan to choose students, offer them the joining letters beforehand and ensure that their career is taken care of.” The company is a part of the ‘holiday ownership industry’ in India and offers flexible holiday plans called Flexi-stay. Under this plan, the customer has the leverage and flexibility of staying anywhere between one evening to one month, across 40 locations in India and over 2,600 destinations worldwide.
