With the advent of the zero commission regime in India, the Indian travel trade fraternity has been finding various ways to survive in the industry by exploring new avenues. The trade intends to go global, think international and tackle Theme-based Tourism. In short:  Breaking barriers and have belief to achieve new goals and write a new success story.
