One of the oldest tour operators in the western India market, Kesari Tours is now growing in the rest of India – both in terms of volume of sales as well as presence. With a solid presence in the south of India as well now, the company has opened eight offices in Bengaluru alone in the last few years. It now plans to further strengthen its presence there with another office in Chennai.

The largest consumer base for us is the domestic market. We are happy that PM Narendra Modi has urged people to travel to at least 15 destinations within India

Himanshu Patil, Director, Kesari Tours, says, “Our plan is to open an office in Chennai. We are also looking at Kolkata. At Kesari, we started with domestic tourism and we have been promoting those routes consistently pan India. The largest consumer base for us is the domestic market. We are happy that PM Narendra Modi has urged people to travel to at least 15 tourist destinations within India by 2022.”

Patil adds that the company is promoting all regions in India with a variety of tour packages. “It is not just about being safe from COVID-19, but as an Indian, we must know our country first and then explore the rest of the world. Our customers are like that – they first travel within India with us and then move to our international tours,” he says. The company hasn’t changed much of the domestic itineraries that are well-loved, however, the Northeast tour is one product that is still developing. “Unless there are proper arrangements made for tourists, we cannot experiment much with that region and we have to work with whatever is available right now,” Patil adds.
