The Rajasthan Tourism Development Corporation (RTDC) bring special attraction for football lovers at its hotel and bars. RTTDC will provide FIFA 2010 football worldcup screening also keeping the bar open beyond deadline. According to Dr Manjit Singh, chairman and managing director CMD, "This is the first time such arrangements have being made in RTDC bars for an international event. As part of a special package for the FIFA World Cup 2010, mega screens have been installed in all 27 RTDC bars within the state to woo guests. The RTDC bars will remain open for the month-long FIFA World Cup tournament beginning 11 June." While the first match is to start early the remaining games will be played well past midnight, according to Indian timings. But for the first time, bars at all RTDC hotels will remain open for the duration of the matches every day.

"Drinks and snacks will be available for soccer lovers during the matches. Besides 15% discount will be available on snacks ordered during this time. The ambience will be of fun and camaraderie with special quizzes for the guests. And the winners will walk away with souvenirs," said Manjit. The initiative has been launched based on the public response after large-scale renovations wherein the corporation made a profit of Rs 70 lakh from the bars and Rs 1.80 crore from the restaurants in the financial year 2009-10. "This is just another step by the corporation to provide facilities to its guests, visitors and especially the Rajasthan soccer fans," said Manjit.
