partnership
No direct flight and poor

The big question ‘Why’ is the opportunity unexplored ?
Luhobhraman
www.luhobhraman.com
‘What’ remains the unsolved problem ?
Problem 1-Lack of Destination Marketing by DOT, Philippines in India compared to other hot selling tourist destinations in India
Problem 2-Lack of tie ups with Indian travel agents with Travel & hospitality Industry of Philippines due to lack of information, trust, awareness about the products and services and scope of business
Problem 3- Lack of direct connectivity between the countries all flights have a layover at BKK, KUL , SING, HK etc and no flight to India Manila is less than total 7 hours.
Problem 4 – Lack of monetary incentives for Indian travel agents compared to other destinations from the Philippines hospitality & travel industry due to low volume and hence reducing attractiveness of the Philippines Market

This exciting venture has been started by Siddharth Kundu, an MBA graduate
from The Asian Institute of Management, Manila. After having spent close to
sixteen months in paradise (read-The Philippines), he realized that there were
umpteen stunning and exotic locations just waiting to be discovered! During one
of his travels, Siddharth wanted to showcase these beautiful and untouched
places to the world and decided to start right here at home- by encouraging
Indians to make the trip of a lifetime to The Philippines and likewise bring
Filipinos to this magical world called India! So with the support of the Indian
Tourism Department and Department of Tourism, Philippines, he intends to
promote a novel concept called 'Bilateral Tourism'. In his own words Siddharth
describes the experience as "Incredible India having More Fun in The
Philippines."

• Indian Food at hotels and choice of vegetarian if possible besides world cuisines ( most Indian's also enjoy Thai and Italian food),Yet some Indians have specific needs (e.g. dietary) when traveling because of their social/religious background
Big spenders but always want quality competitive prices – looking for deals always (
not necessarily cheap ) Sticklers for detail and service quality as Indian culture is highly service oriented
eg – Bell boys taking bags/Service with a genuine smile/ Equal respect for all Attitude towards travel: Status is important. The prestige attached is high
Going somewhere off the beat track…destinations such as Koh Samui or Chiang Mai are becoming popular. Other city delights similar to global leisure - Shopping , night life , spa etc
The Indian market is highly complex and consists of many segments (region, religion,
caste, language, etc.)
