How do you incorporate authentic cultural experiences into your itineraries?
Community support across our destination management services is key to helping the guests engage with the cultural experiences of the locals. Hosting exclusive visits to the village, engaging in traditional ceremonies with the tribes, to exploring the expanse of the region with the locals, our itineraries offer a lot of cultural experiences that one can soak in.
What steps do you take to ensure respectful and meaningful interactions with local communities?
By adopting an inclusive approach, we aim to preserve the regional sanctity and ensure guests have mindful interactions with local communities. We provide in-depth guidance on the dos and don’ts to keep in mind while engaging in activities involving the local communities. The interactions are usually candid, and the locals are quite friendly. With each guest’s visit to the region, we see a new iteration of experiences.
What measures do you take to ensure the safety and security of your clients?
Wildlife-concentrated destinations certainly demand real-time safety and actionable contingent plans. Understanding dietary preferences in advance to having a healthcare professional available throughout the visitor’s stay, we are always at the forefront of upholding the guest's safety and security.
Are there any plans for expanding your services or entering new markets in the near future?
Kenya is a large market to serve, and it being the uncontested wildlife capital of the world, we look forward to including more activities through strategic relationships with luxury activity providers to offer a suite of experiences to our guests, ranging from Private Guided Safaris, Masai Mara Migration Tours, Bush Breakfasts, Photographic Safaris, Balloon Safaris, to Sundowners, Gorilla Trekking, Helicopter Safaris, and Luxury Retreats.
What new initiatives or projects are you currently working on?
Being deeply rooted in providing eco-conscious luxury safari experiences, we are working to reduce our carbon footprint by curating indulging activities that are eco-conscious. From bush breakfasts including more local seasonal ingredients and culinary varieties, to collaborating with eco-conscious luxury resorts within the region, our focus remains on contributing to the planet’s wellbeing, building strong communities, and the foremost of all – curating best-in-class luxury safari experiences for the guests.

In conversation with Hospitalitynews, Sidh N.C., Co-Founder and Managing Director of QNA International, offers an exclusive look into how the 12th Annual MILT Congress is set to redefine the outbound travel narrative for India.
The event was held from 24 to 25 July 2025 at Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon, MILT 2025 isn’t just another luxury travel summit. As Sidh puts it, “We’ve redesigned the event to create a strategic ecosystem where India’s top corporate buyers engage directly with the world’s most visionary travel and hospitality brands.”
The conversations at MILT 2025 revealed a clear shift in what luxury means to indian outbound travelers. It is no longer confined to opulent hotels or grand venues. Today's high value indian traveller seeks depth, intention, and emotional connection in their journeys.
From Gen Z-driven aspirations to immersive spiritual getaways, the Indian traveller is evolving rapidly. In this compelling discussion, Sidh outlines how the outbound market is no longer about checklists and sightseeing, but emotional value, hyper-personalisation, and authentic storytelling.
Social media emerged as a major driver of outbound travel decisions, especially among millenials and Gen Z. MILT 2025 highlighted how platforms like Instagram and YouTube are influencing not just where people travel, but why. Travel content creators, Vloggers, and digial storytellers are the new age travel agents offering immersive glimpses into destinations that were once discovered through brochures
With nearly 40% of outbound trips now business related, MILT Congress is becoming the axis where leisure meets innovation, and where destinations across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East position themselves not just to attract but understand the Indian mindset
He dives into the growing influence of Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the rise of women-led travel, and the seamless merging of technology, sustainability, and cultural connection.
What’s coming next? A travel revolution driven by meaning, not just mobility—where every booking is a story and every destination a deeper experience.

In a world where real estate is often seen as a numbers game, Dinesh Yadav, Founder and Managing Director of Fine Acers, is rewriting the rules. In an exclusive feature with Hospitalitynews, Dinesh shares how his brand is pioneering a new kind of investment, one where returns meet relaxation, and assets double as family getaways, wellness retreats, and legacy spaces.
Through Fine Acers and its collection of thoughtfully designed resorts, Dinesh is turning the traditional real estate model on its head. What makes his vision stand out? It’s the ability to offer more than just appreciation, it’s about creating value that’s deeply personal and profoundly profitable.
What if your investment could host your next family celebration?
What if it could be both a peaceful retreat and an income generator?
In this engaging discussion, Dinesh walks us through the inspiration behind the branded resort investment model, an idea born from observing global trends and Indian investor behaviour. As he points out, second homes in India have long existed, but they often come with challenges. Fine Acers addresses these pain points by offering fully managed, premium properties that balance lifestyle aspirations with stable returns.
From the rise of wellness tourism to the increasing demand for senior-friendly and destination wedding-ready spaces, Fine Acers is tapping into what modern investors truly seek,purposeful ownership. Backed by the post-pandemic travel revival and changing mindsets, this is more than a trend; it’s the evolution of real estate itself.
It was a thought-provoking conversation with Dinesh Yadav, one that sheds light on how emotional connection and financial intelligence can coexist in modern investments.
