siliconindia | | October 20194Scenic beauty, clean and multi-cultured cities, multi-cuisine restaurants, friendly and welcoming people, well-connected public transport, and much more make Europe one of the must-go-to-destinations for travellers. Data from the Schegen visa info shows that over a million applications were filed in India for short-stay visas to Europe's Schengen Area, a 17 percent increase from the previous year. No wonder, the international traffic is outpacing growth in traffic to domestic destinations, with more participation from tier II and III cities. From east to west, Europe is a mix of culture, food, languages, heritage, architecture and more, all across the continent. This diversity is what India is all about and hence such cultural rainbow attracts Indians in a large number. Looking at this growing count, the hospitality industry in Europe is fixing its offerings to cater to Indians and their taste. Featuring some of such hotels from Europe is our current edition of siliconindia Lifestyle Magazine's `10 Most Promising European Hotels for Indians ­ 2019', and `10 Most Promising International Tour Operators - 2019'. Bringing you the exotic tale of some of the century old hotels, we try to make your travel plans more fascinating and painless.But then when the world offers us such pleasing experiences, the onus lies on us to keep up the gravity and make Indians more welcomed as travellers. Unlike the family whose video went viral for stealing almost everything from their hotel room from a resort in a foreign destination, we need to proudly flaunt our Indian culture and tradition and win everyone's heart. Let's spread the mantra `Atithi Devo Bhava' with pride and galore!
