A senior official of the Tourism Ministry told The Indian Express that the letter was published after consultation with the Minister and other senior officials. “Any publicity is good for Indian tourism,’’ he said.
The ad, he said, was the idea of London-based creative and media agency Smarter Communications. When asked whether the “invitation” was a genuine one, the official replied: “Of course, we are ready to bear all expenses if she plans to visit India.”
How serious is the offer can only be known if Goody responds to the ad.
