Dear Industry Colleagues
For eleven years, "Creatively Yours" has been going out to over 30,000 travel industry professionals around the world with the objective to keep you informed of the happenings in the world of Incredible India and its neighbours. 

October has been a fabulously proud month for Team Creative. On October 17th at a glittering award ceremony in Vietnam, we were honoured by the global travel industry with 3 World Travel Awards –  2016 India's Leading Destination Management Company; 2016 India's Leading Luxury Travel Agency and new for this year - 2016 India's Leading Experiential Holiday Company.

We are very proud of the men and women who work for us who have one simple goal – to showcase the best of the best of the Indian sub-continent to guests from all over the world.
Thank you for everyone who voted for us. We are humbled and honoured…

As a company, we are many things to many people. Some like us for our work in the premium travel market, others for our work on incentives. Some appreciate our handling of difficult clients while others our simplicity and grace. But the one common thread that holds us together is our heritage, our ideals and the foundations on which we stand that we are so very proud of...... 

What our team has achieved is due to its hard work and dedicated focus on bringing our partners the best the Indian sub-continent has to offer. We may be a company, we may have our corporate policies & strategies, but at the end of the day we are one thing that will never change.....we are a family. A family of the Kohlis, a family of our employees, a family of our partners & well wishers around the world. 

We are what we are today because of the support of all of you. We dedicate this issue of "Creatively Yours" to you, whether you work with us or not, for we all have one thing in common, we work in an industry that is driven with a passion to creating memories and spreading smiles.
Take care,

Rajeev Kohli
Joint Managing Director
