In 2005 with SBI Chairman Club Members' group accompanied by their families, to Singapore, the group that was vibrant.

This was my first Official International business trip with group in my career in Travel industry which began with being employed with Traveljini - ICICI venture co.as Manager- MICE. I had acquired this business from SBI and the same was negotiated upon and conferred by Mr Rajagopalan who was the HR General Manager from the SBI London branch,

Following this association with SBI I further did multiple groups and that further led to getting business from RBI Cafral later in 2012 & 2013 . Details of these trips will come up in my further advancing and unfolding blogs

{Prior to this I had many groups in which I did not travel also, but I will be displaying the experiences for interesting read in my ensuing blogs,}


In this Singapore tour, Attractions visited were Underwater world, Jurong bird park with tram ride, Dolphin show, China Town, Bum boat ride at Clarke Quay, Sentosa with the laser show and 4D magix movie, and experienced journey in the Metro,

The spouses accompanied them, and on one day I took the spouses, whilst the men were at the training sessions , to Batam islands, Indonesia - 1/2 hour catamaran ride from Singapore, with visa on arrival, we explore the huge shopping mall at the Batam terminal , took a taxi ride round the island, and purchased some local tapioca chips from hand carts

In 2009 - SBI - General Managers' tour for their Training in London which was organised by the Bank itself, and their ensuing personal travel in Europe organized by me.


For this tour I didn't travel with them, however, I would like to share the experience of handling their group which split from London to go onward to their different destinations in Europe. While some explored UK - at Cardiff, Inverness, Lake District, some went to France & Switzerland while few went to Hungary and Czech Republic. Customised packages were created for each of them travelling with families and some of them as a group
