Interview with Ashutosh Vishnoi, CEO of the travel agency Glimpses Holidays Pvt Ltd of India

 How is international tourism travel to India currently developing?

With decreasing travel restrictions, fully operational international flights from all around the world, and growing traveller confidence, International tourism in India is getting better and growing back to the normal phase like pre-covid time and this year we are expecting growth of more than 70 to 80% compare to our last year business.

 

Is there any type of restriction or requirement for international travelers?

As per the latest guidelines, all foreign travellers should preferably be fully vaccinated as per the approved primary schedule of vaccination against COVID-19 in their Country, you may have to produce Vaccination certificate, rest there are no restrictions for international travellers. 

Please check below guidelines by the government of India. 

 

What are the main proposals of your travel agency?

What is an ideal proposal for a 10-day visit to India? Are there Spanish-speaking tour guides for Latino travelers? 
 

Ideal proposal may defer from traveller to traveller If someone visiting first time to India then I would say they may visit Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur & Jodhpur in 10 days time. Or optionally they can visit Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, Orchha, Khajuraho & Varanasi too in 10 days. Both are ideal for person coming to India first time. If someone is interested in South India then they can do Kerala Tour which includes visit to Cochin, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey (Backwater Houseboat), Kovalam Beach in 10 days time. 
As per Spanish guides are concern in North India they are easily available in every city. In South India as they are few so we have keep accompanying Spanish speaking escort for complete tour. 

Can you visit the Taj Mahal without conditions?

 

Yes as per current guidelines by the government of India, tourist can visit Taj Mahal without any conditions or restrictions.

What suggestion and advice could you give to those who want to travel to India?

 
India is a friendly place with people whose culture teaches them that guests are equivalent to God. You never have to worry about hospitality in this country. But, there are a few things that every tourist should know before visiting India.
India is becoming a clean country. When it comes to water, not all sources are clean. Try to stick to branded bottled water even if you are in a top hotel. Always carry your bottle of water if you are going on an excursion.
Dress decently and avoid public display of love. India is a cultured place with many orthodox people. So, stick with the crowd. You are most welcome to wear dresses of your choice but, dress with modesty.
Indian food is generally spicy. Even the mildest version of spicy food cannot be tolerated by many foreigners. So, mention that you need less/zero spicy version while ordering in local restaurants.
India is comparatively a safe place. Still, there are dangers in foreign lands. Always stick with major roads and crowded areas. If you are planning on some remote location activities, always do it as a group. Do not trust anyone with your valuables. Your belongings are your responsibility.
Sanitation is good in India than it was a decade before. You can find decent public toilets in most of the top tourist locations. But, to be safe, always carry wet wipes and hand sanitizers with you.
India is very hot and dehydrating during summer season. It starts in mid March and ends by June. Always carry water and pack light for summer vacation. Winters are moderate to very cold in some places. In Southern states, you would not find a big difference in winter season. Pack according to your vacation time.
Pre-book your tickets and hotel arrangements. India is one of the top tourist destinations and the accommodations might get booked up in top spots of tourism. Do not blindly pick the accommodations recommended by taxi drivers. They might be paid to spread positive word-of-mouth to tourists.
Certain epidemics are common in India during monsoon season. If you are travelling with small children during monsoon season, check with your doctor about any required vaccination. Also carry a bottle of all required emergency medications with you.
You might encounter a lot of beggars on the streets. If you really want to help them, give something that they can eat. Every paisa that they beg would go to their bosses who exploit them. If you really want to do some charity work, get help from any NGO charity organizations.
Some temples and other specific areas have certain rules which include dress code, foods to avoid and so on. It is always better to follow any rule that is imposed on you for that tourist attraction. Disobeying their traditional is considered as an offense by many Indians.
Hugging or kissing version of welcome is not considered normal in India. Handshake or namaskar should be followed. Namaskar is an action in which you bring both your hands in front of your chest and press the palms together. Slight head bow is also considered as a gesture of hospitality.
Locals, especially children get excited to see foreigners. Thus, you would have many eyes grazing you wherever you walk in. They mean no harm and are just curious. Don’t be afraid of them.
