Abstract: As the tourism industry grows so too does the competition between tourist destinations as they compete to attract visitors. The concept of Destination Branding offers countries a framework in which they can differentiate themselves from other destinations offering similar experiences. The promotional efforts of a destination branding strategy are the first points of contact many potential visitors have with the destination. This is the point where their perceptions and first impressions are formed. This paper assesses the destination branding efforts of Bungus Valley through its tourism promotional material. Bungus Valley does not have a defined destination Brand Strategy, so the material portrays a diverse range of activities that represent the complete Bungus destination experience. There are some shortcomings in the presentation of information that if not addressed can ultimately impact the first impressions of potential visitors.

Keywords: Destination branding, first impressions, tourism, Bungus Valley.

Abstract: Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) and general partnership is being treated as equivalent (except for recovery purposes) in the Income-tax Act, 1961. As opposed to a corporate entity, distribution made by an LLP to its partners is tax exempt i.e. there is no dividend distribution tax on distribution to partners and further, an LLP is not subject to Minimum Alternate Tax. The Finance act, 2010 has proposed the much awaited provisions with respect to tax treatment on conversion of existing private companies and unlisted public companies into LLPs. And the finance act 2011 has introduced the application of AMT on LLPs by inserting new chapter-XII-BA consisting of four sections 115JC, 115JD, 115JE and 115JF in the income tax act 1961.

Taxation of LLPs is one of the most important issues to be considered both while forming new LLPS or converting existing firms/private or unlisted companies into LLPs. There are specific provisions in income tax act for the tax implication on conversion of private company or unlisted public company into LLP.
