On hosting the second edition of The Gypsy Travel Festival, Mr. Rajendra Kalkar, President (West), The Phoenix Mills Limitedsaid, “This is the second year in a row we are hosting this wonderful festival in association with The Gypsy Travel Network. Apart from hosting events for food, art, music and other cultural activities, this is a unique genre that we are exploring and hoping to offer as a different experience to all our shoppers!”

When asked what led The Gypsy Travel Network to the idea of #TGTF2018, Sumit Lulla, Co- Founder, Gypsy Travel Network, said, “In India, there is a clear disconnect between the traveller and the destination due to the convoluted flow of information that gets lost amongst different intermediaries. This disconnect affects the perception of any potential traveller in terms of accessibility, desirability and the notability value of a destination. The #TGTF2018 hopes to take the first steps necessary towards commercially bringing about change in how Indians perceive travel.”

Nelson Noronha, , Co- Founder, Gypsy Travel Network said, “The unique participants and businesses represented at the Gypsy Travel Festival 2018 all share the same vision and are top industry experts who are constantly innovating and trying to bring about new change in Indian travel habits. Despite the limitations of the Indian passport, we have travelled the length and breadth of the planet and wanted other fellow Indian travel enthusiasts to be able to experience the same. We want #GTF2018 to springboard a new generation of travelers into having unique personal travel experiences themselves.”

With The Gypsy Travel Festival Sumit and Nelson have set out to achieve one goal, That is to educate the Indian traveller that to travel simply isn’t a means to get away from the bustle of our chaotic Indian lives but its a gateway towards experiencing something ethereal. That’s exactly what they achieved with their inaugural event and seem to continue in that tradition with The Gypsy Travel Festival 2018.
