Vision 2030: Mumbai as Culinary Capital of India launched by AHAR

NEW DELHI [INDIA]: Sukesh Shetty, President AHAR said, AHAR (Association of Hotels and Restaurants) was established in 1979 and comprises 66 associations with over 8,000 members in Mumbai alone. In 2029, AHAR will celebrate its 50th Anniversary. AHAR was established by hotel owners, with a primary focus on solving industry problems and empowering its members. AHAR ensures that its operations are controlled exclusively by its members. Globally, certain cities are renowned for their iconic products. For example, Italy is famous for pizza. Mumbai has achieved fifth place on the global list for its iconic product, Vada Pav. Following Mumbai, Amritsar is celebrated for its Chana Masala. Additionally, India takes pride in the invention of Dal Khichadi, a value-for- money dish that reflects the essence of Indian cuisine.

AHAR presented 50 Milestones which work has started to enable the Vision 2030 to become a reality . This was presented at the AHAR AGM held at Hotel Grand Hyatt in Mumbai. This was televised on Times Now, a leading English News Channel. These Milestones were taken up with different office bearers of AHAR and we felicitated them for their efforts as AHAR Super Heroes.

Under the “Mitra Concept,” AHAR aims to position Mumbai as the Culinary Capital Of India by 2030. This ambitious vision aligns with the growing global recognition of India’s culinary excellence and the hotel industry’s potential to lead the charge. Mumbai is the financial capital of India and home to a diverse population with migrants from across the country. This diversity has given Mumbai a rich culinary landscape, offering cuisines from all corners of India. To promote tourism, we need to enhance this culinary heritage and develop it into a strong, recognizable brand. There are various types of tourism, and food tourism is one of the most impactful ways to attract visitors. AHAR is a well-structured and highly communicative organization, which enables it to play a significant role in this transformation. We are committed to staying updated and adapting to the needs of the industry to help Mumbai evolve into a premier tourist destination.
