This Greeting from my nephews – also because I love the name they chose for their company, Deshadan – reminded me that we all need to spare a prayer and some proactive thought for so many friends and colleagues in the Tourism industry affected by the pandemic and we should do what we can to help our country get back it’s Tourism MOJO!

Remember Kashmir – paradise on earth and Shangri-la of Tourism – is now a free destination for more Indians than ever before and the snow in Gulnarg beckons us more than ever before but for this pandemic that cripples free movement and trade!

Here’s wishing the old times are back soon to pack our bags and travel with true joy of wanderlust and to remind us that by adding value to Tourism we actually enrich our own minds more than anything else….

As the wise man said :
“Not all those who wander are lost!”

In fact, we may find our true selves instead!

HAPPY NATIONAL TOURISM DAY – may we all travel in happy, harmonious and healthy times again!
