More and more people are tripping on philanthropic travel!
In India it would still take time for a concept like philanthropic travel to emerge. Says Mr. Krishna Pujari of Reality Tours and Travel, “The idea of philanthropic travel is not even known to people in India. Having an abundance of wild life and being known for its culture and heritage, eco-tourism and eco-cultural tourism are fairly popular though.” He also added, “India, in a way, benefits from such kinds of tours that foreigners make to our country. Such a concept exists in places like US and maybe Europe, because those people have an inclination to learn about people of different countries.” But is that the only reason why India is in the list of such destinations? Does India’s poverty-struck population and economic condition also play a role? “I have seen numerous people from different countries come to India, not for the purpose of visiting but to extend help. They either do so by charity or by lending their services by getting involved with hospitals, health-care centres and NGOs dedicated to the well-being of women and children. This is indeed good social service as a lot of funds in the form of donations are collected,” explained Mr. Pujari.
At present, India remains an attractive destination for philanthropic travellers. Will Indians be guests in other countries and get involved in philanthropic travelling? “Not immediately, but it has a strong scope for gaining momentum in India too...” comes the positive reply from Mr. Krishna Pujari...
