There are established companies, but with our existing customers and peculiar product mix and service is an advantage. Our concentration is spread to only few products and regions, so beating the competition is not a hard task. Also, Indian travel market extends opportunity to new age travel companies due to the huge population and the quantity of incoming foreign travellers.

Our advantage is very much sustainable, as we need to get into the market as early as possible with these unique products to make a mark.

Our difference is, we offer a special, unique tried travel programmes to luxury travelers, service tailored at top-level travellers, youngsters in the age group 21 to 35 age group, celebrities and corporate organizations while our competitors target the regular travellers. We plan to cater for about 120 of the travel market in interior South India who can pay a higher fare for quality service.

Our opportunity are enormous provided we give alternate travel programmes and see repeat customers. Demands will always exist as today; travel is only recreation left in this faster lifestyle, where one can enjoy quality time with near and dear ones.

Money making opportunity is high as we have ancillary products to support all along. Other market players are very few in number, who is concentrating into activity, theme and adventure travel with a real time portal.
