Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], March 15: Tamara Leisure Experiences, a responsible hospitality group was recognised for both organisational and individual excellence by the PATWA (Pacific Area Travel Writers Association) at the ITB Convention in Berlin this month.

PATWA awarded Tamara Leisure Experiences international recognition under the category of ‘Boutique Hotel Chain of the Year – India’. Additionally, the group’s Vice President of Operations, Mr. Manoj Mathew was awarded under the category of ‘Best Professional: Hospitality Operations’.

Shruti Shibulal, CEO and Director of Tamara Leisure Experiences, was invited to speak at the award ceremony, held as part of the PATWA World Tourism and Aviation Leaders Summit.

While addressing the theme, ‘New Initiatives in World Tourism’, Shruti focused on operational philosophies that can guide sustainable practices in the travel industry: “The well-being of local, resident and indigenous communities is vital to preserving the cultural, ecological and economic integrity of a destination. We have to accept that the climate emergency disproportionately impacts rural, agricultural communities, particularly women. To be resilient, we must cohesively mitigate external shocks that affect the landscape, local livelihoods and sustainable tourism to a destination.”

The topic of innovation in tourism was also addressed by venerated leaders: Winnie Muchanyuka – CEO of Zimbabwe Tourism Authority, Mr. Alain St. Ange – Former Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Ports, and Marine, Republic of Seychelles, Georgi Alipiev, Director of International and Visa Affairs Directorate, Ministry of Tourism of the Republic Bulgaria, and Mr. H.
