Have you decided on your travel plans for next year? Not yet? Well then get your hands on this issue of India Outbound where we offer you a slice from the three popular and touristy continents – Europe, the Americas and Africa, that have some of the most sought after destinations.

In Europe we bring you Malta that is a destination of beautiful experiences. Considered to be a perfect heritage destination, having three sites inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, this island has everything-from prehistoric temples, hidden coves, red gold beaches to a history of remarkable intensity. And if you are too tired of visiting Europe almost every year then the Americas can be your call. Head to Hawaii for an adventurous vacation where one can not just explore the calm and composed life of the underwater residents but also hike some of the best cliffs for a spectacular view. We also give you a glimpse into Central America’s best kept secret, that is, El Salvador. And lastly if the wilderness is what you desire then turn to Africa where we take you on a journey into Kenya’s wildlife through our photo feature where we highlight one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries in the world –the Masai Mara and the inhabitants of the land, the Masai community. As you make your travel plans for next year we promise to highlight many such popular and hidden lands and cultures that have a whole new story to tell.

Also we have great news for the readers of India Outbound. From January 2020 onwards we will be a monthly publication, so no more waiting for 60 days to get hold of your beloved destination guide. So let’s make a resolution for New Years– Head to where the heart takes you!

Travelling is fun for all seasons but it’s the festive season that is meant for families to travel together. In this issue of India Outbound we take you to the favourite destination for the average Indian family from any part of the country that is closer to home and heart. From budget-friendly packages to easier flight connectivity, Thailand is a preferred choice for all Indian travellers. Connecting you directly with nature is Pokhara, a lovely lake town of Nepal. We also take you on a culinary tour by giving you the authentic gastronomic experience of Bangladeshi food.

In this issue of India Outbound, we bring before you the unfamiliar landscapes of the familiar locations that are closer to home and heart! One of the emerging destinations for India is Sanya Island with its exquisite natural beaches and a trip to the tranquil slice of paradise in the Chinese Riviera. And if beaches are not your scene, then travel through Beijing’s popular and lesser-known places or move on to Thailand which has something to offer for everyone. In this issue we also bring for the adventure junkies Finland, the Land of Thousand Lakes with wilderness like no other country. For exploring new emerging destination, travel to the modern age wonderland Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan or take a stroll down the streets of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. If shopping is what you excel in then head towards Malaysia with Miss SHOPhia.

To give a foretaste of what awaits the Indian and indeed global cricket fans, we have dedicated a section of this issue of India Outbound to the gentlemen’s game, including on how England and Wales plan to use the World Cup to boost tourism. And for those who want a luxurious vacation, the idyllic bays of azure waters and cool breeze of the Mediterranean, make for perfect destinations to set sails and get going.
In this issue we also travel to the magical flower city of Guangzhou in China that has unique mix of traditional Chinese and European influence and we also introduce our readers to the different tribes in Africa.

This issue of India Outbound opens with a collage of our memories from around the world with little
notes that might inspire you to travel. India has become the fastest growing outbound travel market
in the world and is only bound to escalate more. The rise is due to increasing disposable incomes as
well as a boost from various social media platforms. We have all the details in our article on the
story of the smart Indian travellers. Do check it out before you get lost in the rush of adventure at
theme parks in the Middle East. We explore some of the best rides and entertainment facilities there
are in the region! We then head to Jerusalem, a country that is sacred to half the human race. It is
also a destination where the gourmands can head as with its strong culture comes rich food too!
Moving on, we have some cool travel bloggers give you tips on where to spend your summer, so you
have choices aplenty! We are now headed West to the United States of America for a roadtrip in
California on one of the most popular routes- the over 1,000 km State Route 1, also called the
Pacific Coast Highway. In East, we go to Sharjah for its annual light festival and also in the Indian
Ocean to Sri Lanka and Mauritius. We end with expert talks bringing you excerpts from our interview
with Claude Micallef, sales director, Bateaux Mouches, Paris. A luxury boat experience on the river
Seine in the City of Lights, Bateaux Mouches is looking at Indian travellers. Also looking at the Indian
market is Reunion Island, a French territory in the Indian Ocean.

Exploring the Unchartered Territory
In this issue of India Outbound, we bring you a range of novel and experiential travels to various parts of the world, many of them practically unheard of, not just in India, but in many other countries. And even within the destinations that may sound familiar to you, such as Dubai, Malaysia or Thailand, check out our choice of experiences and things to do for the Indian traveller – young or young at heart, for business, leisure, friends or family, looking for budget or luxury. It is perhaps the right time to start planning your travels for the year. Do look out for some more unbeaten paths from different parts of the world in our next issue.

From the intriguing tribal villages of Kenya to the bustling streets of opulent Abu Dhabi and the enigmatic monasteries of China, this issue of India Outbound takes you across the globe. Exotic cuisine, fragrant wines, diverse fauna and a unique culture is just scratching the surface of the untapped potential of Africa. While over at the capital of Saudi Arabia, the swaths of burning desert have been replaced by palatial luxury. Discover why it is a fun time in the Philippines and what makes Jeju Island an enchanting getaway. And finally, greetings of the season and here’s hoping you discover so much more with us in the coming year!

For an Indian traveller, or at least an experienced one, there are several countries that could appear to be of the ‘been there, done that’ sort. In this issue of India Outbound, we try to bring to you hidden gems from several of these countries to allow even a much-travelled person to find a good reason for yet another visit to the done destination.
India’s immediate neighbour Nepal is often the first overseas destination for many Indian travellers, primarily due to the low cost of travel and stay and the ease of visa-free travel. Thailand, Switzerland and South Africa are the other places where the call is strong.

To an average Indian, China represents a mystic northern neighbour that is best known by all sorts of products that one can find in the Indian markets today and whose relations with India seem troubled from time to time. Yet few Indians realise exactly how many of their compatriots are headed to the discovery of this mystic land and they would be even more surprised by the rapid growth in the Indian tourists’ traffic that China has been experiencing.

Earlier we had brought you stories from Xi’an in the Shaanxi Province of central China and this time we traverse the mountains to bring you ancient stories from the Henan province, believed to be the place where the great civilisation of China originated from thousands of years ago – this province in China is a hidden gem that we explore for you.

Traversing the old and new paths to bring you the most unique experiences is the aim of this issue of India Outbound. So take a seat, relax and read on to plan your next off the beaten track journey.

Sometimes a place just calls you… it doesn’t matter whether you have been there before or whether it is a place that isn’t really famous as a tourist destination. In this issue of India Outbound we cover destinations that fall within this spectrum of known and unknown.
Starting with the unknown, we have Reunion Island, a green gem in the Indian Ocean. This French territory has one active and one dormant volcano, providing a USP that is very difficult to find so close to India. From the unknown to the known we travel to Melbourne, Italy, Mexico City, and Lumbini in this issue.

In this issue, India Outbound has decided to focus on the popular and unexplored destinations of the Middle East while exploring the riches, fancies and adventure that they have to offer. We begin with the UAE, a popular choice for Indians while exploring the delights of Dubai. Moving further, we have put together the Arabic cuisine, fashion in the UAE and shopping in souqs. Moving only a few hundred kilometres away from the UAE, a discovery tour of other destinations such as Bahrain and Cyprus is also included in the spread.

While we introduce you to more exotic destinations, here is a sneak peek of the same.

Singapore is the country for and of dreamer’s; this island city is a global financial centre and boasts of a multicultural population. When it comes to this tropical city-state, Singapore is always a hit with Indians as it boasts of its very own centre abuzz with Indians, namely ‘Little India’. Travel with us, as we take you through some of the extensive destinations, cuisine and culture of Singapore while laying special emphasis on Singapore as a perfect family getaway destination.

Moving on, one can also experience the mysticism of Sharjah, the conventional UAE city with a contemporary twist as this issue boasts of a special feature of the Emirati customs. Also in store for you is a photo-spread from the land of smiles-Nepal. Come join us, as we take you along for a joy ride across the globe where we explore offbeat destinations, wine retreats, upcoming festivals, and entertainment parks among much more.

Vietnam is a retreat for those seeking experience of various forms. With fascinating history on every turn to modern forms of entertainment, a traveller can immerse himself into a pool of culture and heritage on his next visit to this South Asian country. What we want to show you in this issue of India Outbound is that Vietnam is an ideal destination for every kind of traveller. Come with us on a journey where Vietnam’s popular and lesser known places will be explored and where each of these places will leave you with lifelong cherish-able memories. Another historically indulging destination that we bring you this time is Ras Al Khaimah. With over 7,000 years of fascinating history and culture, the northern most emirates have beaches, deserts and breathtaking landscapes to help you get the most of your trip. Moving on, if adventure is your thing, then Malaysian Islands has some the world’s best locations for scuba and snorkelling. If not that, then golfing in Indonesia might be what you are looking for. Apart from that, we have a variety of options listed for you to do this winter, travel to the land of rising sun and experience the unique Christmas celebrations or travel to Europe where the Christmas markets are all set to blow off your minds.

Macao is an iconic city of neons and casinos, but what we want to show you in this issue of India Outbound is that it can be more than just that with a plethora of cultural experiences now available in the city-state. Resorts in Macao aim to transport you between countries – from Italy to France. If trekking is up your alley, then the historical Xi’an offers challenging peaks waiting to be conquered. But if relaxed walks are more your thing then Lampang in northern Thailand could be your next destination. From stargazing in Chile, South America, to a mid-western experience in Wichita, a city in the state of Kansas in the United States of America; from romancing while experiencing an adrenaline rush in New Zealand to imbibing in copious amounts of beer at the various festivals in Germany – something will definitely pique your interest. But if after all what you desire is serenity, then the peaceful tea slopes of Sri Lanka is ideal for escaping the monotony of city life.

India Outbound had the opportunity to visit Africa twice. The first time, we fared the traditional path focussing on wildlife and safari. However, this time, we went bigger and we went wilder. South Africa and Rwanda are two very different countries when it comes to inhabitants, lifestyle and also tourism potential. Each of these nations has its unique selling point and this issue has aimed to present to the readers the variety in the potential escapades that these countries have to offer. However, since you can only truly appreciate the unique if you have experienced the normal, we have also covered traditional destinations that never lose their charm. Like Chiang Mai, a destination that is consistently gaining popularity as a must-visit city in Thailand. Or Lucerne, a picturesque city where you can have a proper Swiss experience. This issue hopes to give you a taste of all things new and unique with a sprinkling of the traditional and nostalgic.

With this issue of IO we take you on voyage to Spain, a country you probably know much about but our stories would make you see the familiar places in a new light. We discover Moorish cities such as Seville, Granada and Cordoba, visit Madrid and Ibiza and give you new ways of experiencing these places. Basque Country is another destination we visit and explore the place from Bilbao to San Sebastián. We also indulge in the culture of the country and besides the famed La Tomatina we familiarise with religious festivals and various other events that take place throughout the country. Since no visit to a nation is complete without its cuisine, we have also highlighted Spanish food in this issue. Other than Spain, our explorers have also brought stories and pictures from the matriarchal Minangkabau culture in West Sumatra – a feminist society in an Islamic nation. With this issue of IO reel in a cultural delight and also enjoy the luxuries of spa tourism in Czechia and some gastronomic tourism with dates in Sharjah. So, read, explore, eat and make merry.

Composed of over 17,000 islands, about half of them inhabited, Indonesia is rich in beauty, biodiversity, beaches and of course cultures. The country is home to exotic animals like the Orangutans or gigantic monitor lizards and several other endangered species. With such offerings, it is no wonder that the country received nearly 9 million tourists of which 0.2 million were Indians in 2015. Apart from Indonesia, we also take you to other Asian countries like Japan to experience the Cherry Blossom and to the happiest country in the world – Bhutan. From Asia to Europe, we take you to Germany where Alexanderplatz in the heart of its capital Berlin will serve your cosmopolitan taste.

We also share our secret recipe of Turkish meatballs to get going with your taste buds. Then there’s Dubai where you can lay your eyes on the world’s tallest manmade structure, the Burj Khalifa. For the party animal in you drift away to the wild streets of Piccadilly Circus in London where night never sleeps and then to the sophisticated wine museum in the Bordeaux city of France. From France, take a train to Madrid in Spain or go to the primeval forest of Bialowieza that is spread between the borders of Poland and Belarus. For the ones who want to be closer to home and yet explore the unseeing, we have peddled our way to Dili, the city of East Timor in the Indian Ocean. With such a wide spread of options to choose from, we are sure you will make an amazing holiday plan. Enjoy!
