Great INDIAN TAKEAWAY

(TTH Brochure on India, Sri Lanka & the Maldives is OUT!)

India is coming into its own as an exotic travel destination for the Australian FIT market. In fact everywhere you look —from the Peugeot ads with elephants squashing cars to India Feast, an eight part travel and food documentary on Friday nights on SBS, from Bollywood films to the number of Indian restaurants, takeaways and delis— there seems to be surge in this country’s popularity.

From a Travel Agents point of view the Indian-Sub Continent has every mark of being the next “ China” and much, much more .

India jumped from 36th spot in 2003 to 5th in 2004 as one of the worlds most popular destinations. (iExplore world wide survey)

Inbound tourism to India increased by a whopping 30% in 2004.

67% of international tourists to India return again (and again). Fantastic for repeat business!

Facilities—hotels, transportation and back up services have improved tremendously in the past 5 years to offer a quality product.

Varied climatic regions means that the sub-continent can be on sale 12 months of the year and not just the Oct-Mar “season” that most brochures refer too.

Business travel between India and Australia is on the increase.

INDIA
The name evokes visions of a mystical land with majestic
forts, beautiful palaces, exotic temples, the glamour of
Bollywood, a hospitable people and the heady aroma of
spices that are the basis of Indian food.

From the awe inspiring beauty of the Taj Mahal to an elephant back tiger safari, a backwaters cruise down palm tree lined water canals in Kerala to a camel safari in the endless sand dunes of Rajasthan. Stay in a Palace or a houseboat or a tent fit for royalty. India has a variety of experiences to leave you breathless

A country to be experienced: seen with the heart and understood with the soul. Truly incredible!

SRI LANKA

Sri Lanka is a magical island off the southernmost tip of India.
Miles of uncluttered sandy beaches caressed gently by ocean
breezes that gleam pearl-like in the brilliant sunshine.

Inland, frothing waterfalls tumble from mist-shrouded peaks.
Nature blooms, lush and verdant, covering all with her mantle of green.

Amidst this bounty flourishes a rich ancient culture embellished by the more recent influences of Western colonisers and Eastern traders, a mercurial mix of races and religions that results in a dynamic, vibrant people .
