In the words of Ibn Battuta, travelling leaves you speechless and then turns you into a storyteller. His wisdom teaches us that it is travelling that keeps our innate desires alive, waking up a world of words and images within us.

Today, as we celebrate the National Tourism Day in the midst of the pandemic's third wave, it's time to reflect on how our ways of travel has changed. Tourists now travel not for leisure alone and are keen to explore the history, culture and the food diversity of places they ...
