Dear Industry Colleagues,
Welcome to the first 2019
edition of 'Creatively Yours'.
Everyone has expectations that
the new year will bring in a lot
more happiness and optimism than
the complicated year that has
gone by. The past cannot be
changed, the future is yet in
your power. All we know for sure
is that each year paves the way
to new hopes and new promises.
Lord Buddha said
“Every morning we are born
again. What we do today is
what matters most.”
We wish for 2019 to be a year of
many happy starts for one and
all.
For us in the Creative Travel
family, 2019 brings in our 42nd
year of being amongst India’s
most respected travel companies.
Despite all the challenges of
the year gone by, our family has
held strong, true to its mission
of showcasing the best that our
region has to offer.
2018 was a good year for the
Creative team. It was yet
another record-breaking year for
winning global accolades.
Creative Travel is proud to have
been recognised as "India's
Leading Destination Management
Company" (our 8th) and "India's
Leading Luxury Travel Agency"
(our 5th) and our team at
JungleSutra Wildlife Journeys
was awarded as “India’s Most
Experiential Holiday Company”
(our 3rd) at the 2018 World
Travel Awards, described by the
Wall Street Journal as "the
Oscars of the Travel Industry".
We also won our 7th SITE Crystal
Award for an amazing incentive
project in the Maldives. We were
named as ‘India’s Most Preferred
Travel & Tourism Brand’ by an
independent jury. And this was
further followed by three
accolades at the South Asian
Travel Awards (SATA).
We are so very proud of the men
and women in our team who made
all this possible. But we do
recognise that we could not have
done all of this without the
support of our friends and
partners across the world.
India has been transforming. We
are outpacing every other major
economy in the world, with a
growth rate exceeding 7%. We are
a very complex, chaotic, and
confusing nation. We baffle
every pundit’s predictions for
our future. CNN did a very
interesting piece on the future
of the internet and how India
will drive that.
The article
can be read
here. Made us feel proud.
We Indians don't believe in
looking back. As a nation
fascinated by astrology,
palmistry, numerology, palm leaf
reading and what have you, we
always look at the future for
what it holds and for the
opportunities it will bring. If
there is something we don't
like, there is always a
religious ceremony around to fix
it. We are a nation of
contrasts, of challenges, of
organised chaos, and of enormous
beauty. We are a people who
believe in the power of the self
and the power of the almighty.
India is an inexplicable
phenomenon and Indians can
sometimes be odd, but we are a
people who believe truly that
2019 will be a better year for
us all.
So, wherever you are and
whatever your heart desires,
on behalf of the Kohli family
and the entire team at
Creative Travel, Plan it!
Meetings & Conferences,
JungleSutra Wildlife Journeys
& Signature Tours, we wish you
and your loved ones a great
and joyful 2019.
“Just because the past didn’t
turn out like you wanted it to,
doesn’t mean your future can’t
be better than you imagined.” ~

Best Regards
And Have a Creative Day!
