Thoughts during the financialy year end

 "There is no real ending, it's just the place where you stop the story." - Frank Herbert 


On 31st March, the last few lines of a story was written aand it's fate sealed. We are talking about the financial year end. The books have been closed for the year 2021 -2022 


This part of the year is generally filled with excitement as all entrepreneurs look forward to all the analysis from the number crunching to understand market trends and the financial health of the company. Future strategies are debated and planned based on these reports. 


The past 2 years, also strangely coincieding with 2 years of the pandemic have been nothing short of a nightmare. Earlier we used to look at these reports to understand growth of the company and to identify further growth opportunities. Now we look at the reports to see how deep we have fallen, with a question in the mind if we will fall further into abyss or have we bottomed out, can we plan our climb back up and above. 


A year back along with the beginning of the last financial year, the virus also started spreading. The tragedy that unfolded was mind numbing. Business and it's processes had vanished from the thought process. We did not know how to respond to what was happening around us. It is during these times that we truly understood the scale and the gravity of the crisis. 


Time has moved on since then, the world seems to have a better grip on the situation now. The pandemic is defenitely not over but we have reached a space where we can hope that the worst is over. We are lucky that we (Our Company) has survived the dark phase of the 2nd wave. The scars of the last 2 years will weigh heavily on all of us but we can also take strength that we are still here and the learnings of the past 2 years will make us more considerate, compassionate and caring professionals. 


So here we are raising a toast for all of you in this amazing industry of travel and hospitality. Let us all make some happy travel memories for the world. The joy of traveling and holidays beacons all and we from the industry have a huge role to play. Best wishes for that.

A Rs.10,000\- question?

  There are many distinguishing factors about the Indian traveller. Globally the trend is to travel more like a nuclear unit, your immediate family, with your partner or even solo, but in India we like to travel in a group. The society group, a corporate outing with your colleagues, travelling with your religious group for a pilgrimage or even the extended family coming together for a holiday.  The logistics of planning for a family holiday is immense and can get stressful, family watsaap groups will be buzzing with ideas right from destinations to mode of travel and activities that need to be included, then there is the process of multiple working professionals getting leave, the dates have to match, the schedule of the children travelling together, their schooling, exam’s tuitions and classes get accommodated.  Once this gigantic democratic exercise concludes, the process of selecting the hotel / villa / homestay and planning the daily schedule of your holiday commences...

Wanted Urgently for the State of Goa - A Visionary Leader

The project outline The Waterfront of Torda The beaches of Goa and the tourism ecosystem around it has built the brand Goa but it is the life away from the beaches that truly charms you in ways you cannot imagine.  It is like having an extra pair of Lungs, it soothes, inspires and drives your deep passions. Many walks through its narrow lanes under the full moon, while the sun rises or disappears behind the hills before it sets, have given clarity of thought, comforted and motivated me.  We are fortunate enough to be living in the hills of Porvorim, surrounded by beautiful villages all around, there is heritage, there is a bird sanctuary at its borders, also a network of beautiful estuaries  The planning authorities in their wisdom have always gone for grand projects that are mere posturing and pandering to a vote bank, such is the system, there have been grand announcements of helicopter tourism, seaplane tourism, many other large projects. The tourism minister of Goa is...
