For Spirituality, Heritage and More

Amritsar is world renowned for its Golden Temple which is formally known as Sri Harmandir Sahib. It was designed in 1589 by the fifth Sikh guru,  Guru Arjan.  The temple houses Adi Granth, the holy scripture of the followers of Sikh religion.

But it is not the only place for which the destination is known for or should be known for among the domestic and inbound tourists. The city is not only a haven for religious tourists but lovers of history can also find lots of interest in Amritsar.

Spirituality and History

Amritsar is a historic city where you can still hear the resonance of the helpless screams across the quiet Jallianwala Bagh, as you come to visit the memorial in the public garden, constructed in 1951 to commemorate the ghastly massacre of unarmed innocents by the notorious Brigadier-General Dyer in 1919. Yes, you can, if you choose to hear with your mind…The bullet marks on the walls still remind us of the horrific chapter of our freedom struggle.

While visiting Amritsar, it is also not wise to miss the spectacular beating retreat on the Wagah border. “Amritsar has great potential for tourism as it has long history, spanning through Mughal era to the colonial era. The city has so many less explored places which have traces of those time lines,” informed Vikram Singh, the General manager, Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Amritsar, Queen’s Road.

The General manager also talked about the mythological flavour around the city. Ram Tirath Temple, located 10 km from Amritsar, is believed to be the place where the ashram of the mythical sage Valmiki was located. Valmiki is believed to be the writer of the epic Ramayana. The place is also regarded as the birth place of Lav and Kush, the sons of Rama.

Training & Retaining Workforce for Hotel's Success

Success of a hotel depends on the manpower. Staff, from the receptionist, who is the first step of the guest towards his hospitality during the stay, to the attendant who handles his luggage during his departure, help in the guest being attracted by the property and compelling him to stay at the same hotel on his future trips to the destination. The employees, it may be said, are the backbone or the mainstay for a hotel's success.
