implementation of the announcements:
c. Whether adequate opportunity was provided for speaking.
d. Whether they feel they have contributed to the outcome outlined at the end
of the seminar.

8. Suggestions may be sought from the participating Ministries/CPSEs/ State

Governments /State PSEs.

 The central focus of webinar was to deliberate on possible modalities for

implementation. Many constructive suggestions and positive deliberations were
made, which need to be taken forward through a follow up engagement.

 A single session is not enough to outline the outcomes immediately. As such, post-
webinar hybrid meetings may be held with the select focus groups to take forward
key suggestions from the discussion.

9. Suggestions from stakeholders such as Private sector/Citizens.

 Each speaker was provided 4-5 minutes each. However, many participants were of
the opinion that more speaking time could be provided to present key suggestions

 Participants felt that tourism being a multi-dimensional subject needs 2-day

sessions of webinar. Further, participants wanted to attend multiple sessions so
the format could have been sequential instead of conducting parallel sessions.

10. The suggestion may be in bullet-form.
