Puducherry is finally has an airport. The city’s businessmen have heaved a sigh of relief as this step will increase their prospects. The same goes for the hospitality industry.
Says a travel agent, ‘Better air connectivity will not only improve Puducherry`s attractiveness as a tourist destination but also improve the profile of the people visiting the city.’
According to CEO of leather company Hidesign Dilip Kapoor, ‘I have already used it to visit our Bangalore stores and we need it to expand connectivity with other metros. Lack of an airport has been the main reason our business associates avoid coming here and is a major block in hiring high level executives.’
