Winner: The Travel Planners
 Anish Kumar P.K, CEO, The
Travel Planners |
"This is first time we are winning a
national award and I am proud of this achievement.
Responsible tourism is the talk of the
day. I feel that most tour operators, who, in any manner,
contribute to the economic, social and environmental progress
of the country, follow responsible tourism"
"I am very happy and
surprised to receive the Galileo Express TravelWorld award for
the Best Inbound Tour Operator (South). Last year, we won an
award from the Government of Kerala for the Best Innovative
Tourism Product; however that was restricted to the state
alone. This is first time we are winning a national award and
I am proud of this achievement.
Responsible tourism is the talk of the
day. I feel that those tour operators, who, in any manner,
contribute to the economic, social and environmental progress
of the country, follow responsible tourism. It is also more of
a norm now as most foreign companies working with Indian
agents check if their Indian counterparts follow responsible
tourism practices. At The Travel Planners, three months back,
we introduced Khadi uniforms in our offices to help the dying
Khadi industry.
We are one of the leading inbound tour
operators. In 2009 we will complete ten years of our existence
and we plan to give our customers good packages with
attractive prices. We have two innovative travel portals-
keralatourpackages.com and keralahoneymoon.com which attract a
large number of visitors every day and we will market our
products via these websites next year."
The Travel Planners, an ISO 9001-2000
company started in the year 1999, as a specialised tour
operator for South India. The Travel Planners is one of the
fastest growing tour operators in Kerala with the mission of
providing unique tours and are best known for their
