Dear Industry
Colleagues |
Welcome to another edition of
award winning 'Creatively
Yours'.
It's May and we are in the
middle of a strong summer. The
world’s climate patterns have
indeed changed and we in India
are experiencing record
temperatures. Summer is our time
to evaluate the season gone by
and to plan new ideas and
strategies for the season to
come. We will be rolling out a
new strategy for enhancing our
offerings of immersive
experiences and unique
activities across the region. In
addition, the JungleSutra
Wildlife Journeys team is also
hitting the road with some
special programs that showcase
the depth of wildlife in the
Indian sub-continent.
With the end of the season
approaching, we are working on
some special options for
industry professionals to come
and visit India. Under our 2016
"Be our Guest" program, we have
some exciting options at very
special prices. Ask us for
details.
Other initiatives are special
offerings for you to market on
to your client base. We
encourage you to send through
your thoughts on what you think
could work for your markets, so
that we can have the team
customize a product set for you.
We at Creative intend to
aggressively push the price
competitiveness of India in its
shoulder period as we feel the
market is turning around for us
all and let's use that to gain
some interaction and make up for
lost business.
You shall see some new and
exciting initiatives in the next
season from Team Creative. New
experiential inclusions, new
circuits, new concepts... We
take pride in our ability to
make a trip to the Indian
sub-continent something very
different. |

Take care |

What
People are Saying |
|
Please know we had an
excellent tour. It was
enjoyed by the entire group.
The hotel selections were
wonderful and I'm very
pleased you selected the
Marriott in Kochi for us
this year. We must also make
a special mention of our
guide--he really helped make
the tour a most memorable
one. He was truly the
perfect guide for our group.
Our thanks to Creative
Travels for creating two
excellent tours for our
group. We will highly
recommend that the next
year's group use your
services as well, since
Creative Travels provides
such a brilliant view of
India and the company is a
pleasure to work with. Thank
you!!
Best,
Kate Kamakahi
