TBM Staff - Mumbai Ar. Rm. Arun, President, Southern India Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SICCI) has said that Tamil Nadu should focus on promoting experimental tourism since it has all the resources to cater to a diverse range of tourist interests, reports The Hindu.
Addressing a gathering at Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Conclave with the theme, “Experiential Tourism in Southern T.N.: Perspectives and Best Practices” organised by SICCI, he said that in 1940, M. Ct. M Chidambaram Chettiar, former President of SICCI and founder of the Indian Overseas Bank, drew up plans to set up a commercial museum at the behest of C. N. Annadurai. But in view of the war, the efforts were postponed.
