PUBLISHER’S NOTE

South India is undoubtedly a perfect blend of traditional and modern, preserving its rich culture and heritage besides encouraging contemporary infrastructure development. The region is fast moving towards becoming a tourism puller and we would like to support these efforts! As a tribute, DDP Group decided to hold India Travel Awards to recognise the achievers of the travel and tourism industry, who have worked steadfastly towards enhancing the environment to allow the growth of this business. These stalwarts need to be acknowledged, appreciated and encouraged in every region, and we have started the journey this year from South India. Our top-most honour, the Gold Maya, is awarded to those stalwarts who have shaped the industry the way it is today and created innovative ways and products to take the industry a notch higher. The award ceremony is brought to life by a charismatic anchor and singer, thrilling the audience. At the black-tie, silver service event, various performers enthral and amuse the audience. The guests this year were audience to a mesmerising dance performance, which they not only enjoyed watching but also became a part of. Overall, the 4th edition of South India Travel Awards was another successful chapter in the journey of long term associations. India Travel Awards will be travelling to various other southern cities in its subsequent editions. Thus, we take upon ourselves, in our own small way, to revive and enhance tourism in the southern states of India.
