Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

DEAR SHRI ADITYA THACKERAYJI : PLEASE CEASE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REINVENT TOURISM INDUSTRY

 

Tourism : Future is getting closer

 

 

 

Context :

Coming Soon : “ Mumbai Street View “  / To boost tourism, high-end planning

( Times City – 25 Sept 2021 – print edition )

 

Extract :

 

Ø  The Project

 

#  To prepare a 3D map of the city, with detailed aerial and STREET-LEVEL

     views of every locality

  

#  A drone with high-res cams captured aerial images. 2-5 cm is the

    pictorial data resolution, thus making  the renderings realistic

    

#  In parallel, specialized camera-mounted vehicles captured views of

   STREET-LEVEL infrastructure .

    3,600 high definition STREET VIEW  IMAGES were fused with aerial

    pictures to create a GEOSPATIAL map of Worli

 

    

Ø  Shri Aditya Thackerayji Tourism Minister ) - adityathackeray@me.com

 

#  “ We are mapping EVERY LANE of Mumbai in 3D now, for a whole new

      REAL TIME PERSPECTIVE In decision making for the city “

   

     

 

My  Take :

 

After the break-out of Covid pandemic, tourism around the entire World came to a stand-still. That made me send following e-mail to Ministers of Tourism ( Central Govt and Maharashtra Govt )  :

 

Ø  Future of Tourism ? ……………………………[ 22 July 2020 ]

 

 

Extract :

 

It is about time the TOURISM industry asks of itself :

 

“ What business are we in ? “

 

Answer : 

 

“ We are in the business of bringing inside the home of a TOURIST, all the

 beautiful places of the entire World-anytime he desires to visit / view /

 experience, ANY place on the Earth

 

 And show him in 3D , any such place in REAL TIME ( ie: show him how exactly is

 that place looking, right at THIS MOMENT / what is happening at that place, right

 NOW ) ”

  

How can / should the INDIAN TOURISM INDUSTRY, turn the present dismal

business scenario, into an opportunity ?

 

 

By having “ TOURISM GUIDES ( humans ) “ walk around places in India, wearing

headsets ( like Jio Glass ? ) and streaming LIVE VIDEO BROADCASTS to Roomality

installations, all over the World

 

Dear Shri Prahlad Singh Patelji,

[ Minister for Tourism / prahladp@sansad.nic.in ]

I urge you to exploit this opportunity to make India

 , VIRTUAL  TOURISM  CAPITAL  of the world

 Hi Hemen,

Thank you for your interest in Roomality and for sharing the links to your blog and to the Lithuanian campagne.

Dear Aditya Thackerayji,

I urge you to call a meeting of all the TOURISM related businesses ( including

 DRONE manufacturers ), and ask them to re-invent their BUSINESS MODEL as

 described above. Through MUMBAI STREET VIEWS, you have provided a PROOF

 OF CONCEPT

 

I am sure , if requested, Dave Greaney  (  +353 852 27 28 29 ) would be happy

 to join such a meeting
