Technology connoisseur Matthew Powell, MD, Travelport Middle East and South Asia, is a quintessential experiential traveller. When it comes to vacations, he shies away from the glitz and glamour of high-end properties and instead opts to stay in traditional huts, immersing himself in the local culture. “I personally love Vietnam, especially the north part. Everything is so peaceful and pristine there!” he claims. His most memorable experiences have been the trek to Mt. Kilimanjaro as well as some relaxing time off in the shacks of Goa.
Krishna Kumar, General Manager, Radisson Hyderabad HITEC City, loves cycling and travel. “There is nothing that beats a long ride very early in the morning which sets up my day beautifully too. Cycling and travelling are the most enjoyable activities I indulge in,” he says. Thailand remains his favourite destination with Phi Phi islands being his preferred place to visit. “My most memorable holiday remains a three week trip along the Andaman Coast with the family,” Kumar adds.
Ranjeesh P.K., General Manager, Davanam Sarovar Portico Suites, Bengaluru, believes in working hard and relaxing well. “The hotel business is a demanding one and I welcome any chance to ride out on my Harley to de-stress. Spending time at home with my wife and son are blissful moments for me, and I look forward to us spending time together on a Europe tour where we can soak in the best of culture, food, and experiences,” he adds.
