Matured Indian Tourism like a Scottish Wine! Read here to know how..

Britain’s Paul Knight has a story to share which reflects how Indian Tourism, when matured, builds relations which remain unforgettable in lifelong memoirs.

Usually public memory is termed as short. Here is an example of brilliant association that this British family has tried to maintain with India based folks who had administered their tour thirteen years ago. As the X-Mas festival draws near, the two sides bridged the East-West gap through

emails. Thereby the tale got lengthened – wildlife lovers as they are.

Paul Knight picked up an Indian tour operator company (www.ourindiantours.com) and completed his ambitious foray to be face to face with Tigers and experience the traditional culture and living. It was a task as he and his wife, Toni, had to be extra-careful. They had three kids: Freya 10, Kiera 5, Hugo 8. So it became a group of five to rough out odds of international flights, domestic driving, jeep rides for wild mammals, etc.

Done with satisfaction. So the mutual respect continued. Paul was anxious to reciprocate and hosted lunch at a London restaurant when an executive of this tour company was in Britain, a benign gesture usually extended by all Brits as aftermath of a successful tour.

Paul is back on memory board. He wrote to this company executive: Good to hear from you.

You are still birding then? My kids were 10, 8, 5 when we travelled to India in 2007. He elaborated after some more emails were exchanged: “I thought I would show 2 pictures with you 13 years ago!” It is produced here by EB&W Media. It shows Paul and Tony with the three kids at a vegetarian resort in Jaipur along with the tour company’s executive. They appear travel-weary having had bumpy jeep safaris to be face to face with tiger in Ranthambhore.

Paul wanted to convey how his kinds had grown up during the period. So he shared another picture of the family members. It is also reproduced here by EB&W to illustrate this growth trajectory of Indo-British association. He stated that Freya (23), finished her Degree in Advertising and Marketing and now works for Adidas in Manchester, living with her Boyfriend who is a professional cyclist (Olympic hopeful!); Kiera (18) in her final year at 6th form college, A levels – Math, Physics, Geography – wants to study Physics; and Hugo (21) studying Marine Engineering and loving college life, especially Windsurfing, he is interested in anything water/nautical related. 

Tony is a teaching despite COVID conditions. Manoj Vardhan manages this tour company that claims to practice Responsible Tourism means part of proceeds going to wildlife conservation. He provided khaki uniforms to Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve’s forest guards and more than a hundred binoculars to guides, volunteers, etc.
