Zip Adventure Tours Pvt. Ltd., the first company to introduce ‘zip tour’ in India by the trade name Flying Fox at Neemrana in Rajasthan in January this year, will look at expanding to other suitable locations in the coming years. “We are working on some plans. We have ambitious plans to set up ten more tours in the next five years at different locations,” said Jonathan Walter, Director, Zip Adventure Tours Pvt. Ltd. He said that they were in touch with tourism authorities and private landlords in states like Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh for similar projects. “It requires a lot of capital investment – on site and off site – for safety standards, training, establishing online booking systems etc. So we have to be very careful. Best sites and long term partners are key for our projects,” said Walter.
An adventure activity quite popular in Europe and North America, ‘zip tour’ is a unique adventure activity in which participants fly from one hill top to another along a zip wire attached by harness and pulley. Zip Adventure Tours Pvt. Ltd., |
