With a pure intention of promoting tourism among foreign visitors in the remote and village areas of India, the founder of leading travel agency in Delhi, Sushant Travels - Mr. Vijay Tiwari geared up and made finest arrangements as possible to take four Israeli tourists on an extensive tour of the village local life. And guess what? The Israeli visitors were exhilarated on the journey and were quite impressed taking a drench into the culture of villages in India, thus making our founder's motive a big success. The group of four included two men and two women. David Brayer who called himself a journalist was with three others - a retired military officer David Gofer, Lady artist Amit Kafri and Lady teacher Slomit Gofer. The tourists were accompanied by our own founder, Mr. Vijay Tiwari for an exploration of Bikapur and close-by local areas as well as one of the main holy centers, Ayodhya.                        

Starting off the journey with Bikapur, the tourists mixed up with the inhabitants of the village and tried acquiring some knowledge on their daily lives and culture and religion. The villagers were very excited and ecstatic by the fact that foreigners were to spend few days with them. A throng of locals was witnessed to click selfies with the foreigners. The tourists also clicked pictures with them merrily and captured a plethora of moments while touring distinct places and enjoying talks and activities with the people. Mr. Vijay Tiwari who played a role of a guide, translated speeches of both the villagers and foreigners in order to bring a close understanding and bonding among them. It was delightful to watch how the Israilies sat on the traditional woven bed (charpayi) and relished puris with other food items prepared by the villagers. What was even more delightful to watch was, the Israeli companions enjoyed a ride on the tractor in the company of farmers. After a day of exploration and interaction, they headed to the Askaranpur's localite - Mr. Vinod Shukla's home. They had snacks and beverages along with lots of talks and cherishing memories.

After a charming exploration of Bikapur and its nearby areas, it was now the turn to explore the culture of Ayodhya - a religious city in Uttar Pradesh. A tour to Ayodhya included a visit to many famous and ancient holy temples. The four Israilies along with our founder, visited top attractions of Ayodhya like Dashrath Bhawan, Kanak Mahal and Ramjanmabhoomi. In the evening, they even attended the famous Ganga aarti near the Sarayu river. The third day of the trip was devoted to take a sneak peek into the culture of India by knowing the inhabitants and their lives briefly. The locals of the remote village areas in Ayodhya were jubilant to see foreigners at their place. The tourists along with Mr. Vijay Tiwari had a good long conversation with the locals of Ayodhya. It was their first time tour in India and they mentioned about how impressed they were after knowing the culture of village in India, visiting ancient architectural sites of Ayodhya and interacting with the inhabitants of the various places. They accentuated that they were so happy by their visit on insistence of Sushant Travels that when they go back to their country, they will promote and encourage all of their knowns to visit India and especially Ayodhya.

 After a deep interaction with the locals, the Israilies went on to meet the officers of the taluka and district. They met S.S.P. Mr. Ashish Tiwari, Mr. Digvijay Singh and other officers, who welcomed very warmly to the Israilies. After a scrumptious meal with the officers, they had a thoughtful discussion about the relations of the two countries and the condition of villages which brought two of the minds together and created a deeper bond. The foreigners quoted that due to modernism in today's world, any ancient architectural structures should not be demolished and religion and culture of Indian roots should be maintained and carried forward in the years ahead. They mentioned about how keen visitors from different parts of the countries and they themselves, admire to visit India as they want to explore the ancient culture and traditions of India. A serious discussion about employment opportunities also took place between the officers, tourists and our founder. In short, the discussion ended with how employment opportunities can increase in the villages of Ayodhya and other places if Indian Government rescinds certain restrictions and allow Israilies to perform business activities in the remote local areas, thus promoting employment and development of everyone. Then, our founder threw light on how tourism industry can witness a significant growth in the village areas of India thus contributing to the GDP of the country and to mention, he has single handedly already started to take small steps to create a major impact in the coming years. When asked about how the tourists felt visiting Bikapur and Ayodhya, they mentioned that they wholeheartedly loved it and had an outstanding, unique experience but the only thing of concern they stated was there's a room for more improvements of the villages such as cleanliness and toilet facilities. The officers promised to look into the matter and work for the betterment of the villages.

Apparently, Indians proved it again they don't just say but believe and practice in 'Atithi Devo Bhava'. The four Israeli tourists were overwhelmed by the warm and generous hospitality of the people in India and the way they made them feel like home. A big stepping stone set by our founder - Mr. Vijay Tiwari indeed set an example that business is not all about business, it's about creating an impact, bringing priceless smiles on the faces and making our nation proud of our little deeds.
