Dear Industry Colleagues

Welcome to another edition of the award-winning 'Creatively Yours'.

India’s biggest festive season is about to begin and there couldn’t be a better time to visit this vibrant and varied country!

Everywhere, you will find the streets lit up with festive cheer; homes engulfed in traditional celebrations; and local events and fares popping up for people to meet and revel in the season. India takes on a whole new look and feel during this festive period – one that travellers would not be able to experience at any other time.

We have kicked off the celebrations on a happy note! Proud to announce that Creative Travel was recently awarded “The Best Inbound Operator” by India’s national commerce body, FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry) during their first Travel and Tourism Excellence Awards towards recognizing states, organizations and individuals for their contributions to the industry and encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship in the space.

One of the biggest news from India recently has been the lowering of visa fees for foreigners travelling to the country, with a flexible regime that would offer a 30-day e-visa at only USD 10 for the non-peak travel months between April and June.

Read on for more exciting news from across the subcontinent – a new proposal to open Taj Mahal after dark, PM Modi’s “meditation cave” in the Himalayas; and the Railway’s “Ramayana circuit”. And see our festivals pages to learn more about the cultural significance of the upcoming days and how your guests can experience it best

Best Regards &
Have a Creative Day!
