Dear Industry Colleagues |
|
|
Welcome to another edition of award
winning 'Creatively Yours'.
The traditional start of the inbound
season is upon us. Arrival figures are
already increasing day by day and we
hope the coming season meets all our
expectations. Last year was weak for
most of the Indian inbound tourism
industry. Our segment has been under
stress and we’re truly hoping for a
better year ahead.
The collective Indian tourism industry
is still lobbying for some relief on the
application of the new GST system. The
rules are still very confusing and the
administration has admitted flaws in its
applicability. Yet, we seem to be stuck
in a never-ending cycle of requests for
relief not being addressed.
Nevertheless, we shall trudge along
being the resilient industry we are.
This newsletter has a report on an
exciting new product – the Alila Fort
Bishangarh. We are bringing back our
segment “Personally Experienced. Hope
you enjoy it.
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, |

|
Have a Creative Day! |

Amazing Trip to India
My motive is to thank all the attention received
by the company that has assisted us in our visit
to India. We were amazed by the services they
provided, everything was handled with a lot of
professionalism, from the guys who handled the
airport transfer, train station, the way we were
received. The guides from both New Delhi and
Agra were wonderful, they made us feel and live
the place, as well as all the information
received, there are no words to thank them for
such good attention. The agency that was the
coordinator of all our movement, from arrival to
departure, are worthy of our gratitude, they
took care of us at all times, that made us enjoy
our walk through that country.
I also thank Eurotur for working with a
receptive agency in a country so different from
ours that I did not fail at all. And also thank
you for your predisposition to achieve
everything in such a short time, the truth was a
destination that being so different from us we
did not know how to handle it, there are always
those little things, but you made it possible to
make that stay a wonderful experience. Thank you
so much for everything.

The New Creative Space
Creative Travel Moves to its New Home |
|
|
After 4 years of construction, meticulous planning, we
are delighted to have moved to our new corporate
headquarters.
Our new home is much larger, much brighter and keeps the
needs of a modern workforce in mind. The use of natural
light and green walls has been an important element of
the design. It is a greener smarter building with many
elements of recycling and waste management in place.
Spread over 45,000 sq.ft, the building has been designed
to encourage creativity. With 10 meeting areas,
discussions zones, an amphitheatre for presentations,
larger cafeteria and relaxation zone, we have tried to
create an environment that helps our team be more
productive and more importantly happy.
We like to call it a “Thoughtful Building” - A working
environment designed with the occupier in mind. To make
their day here a pleasant one. How thoughtful.
- Imagination - Built on principles of bringing
nature inside, everyone has access to green views
and natural light.
- Efficiency - Layout, Planning and Orientation.
The cornerstones to make everything that much more
efficient.
- Environment - Recycling & Reusing all the waste
water; Solar Energy; Insulation to save
air-conditioning; 100% energy loving lighting.
Taking care of Nature.
- Catalyst - Inspiring and thought-provoking
design. Spaces to ideate in. A sanctuary for
creative minds.

Paradise Found
Playing Robinson Crusoe in
Maldives |
|
|
|
If brochures and blogs are anything to
go by, then the low-lying coral islands
of Maldives in the Indian Ocean are
nothing short of paradise. On a map, the
country looks like someone took a pinch
of palm fringed islands and sprinkled
them in the emerald waters. |
