Set up by visionary and forward thinker, Shri. Nagaraja Gupta in 1977, the Travel Tours Group continues to remain true to its original vision -- that of making a borderless world where travel is both easy and affordable. Travel Air was the first agency in South India to offer customers exclusive packages to the Far East & South East Asia at a time when traveling abroad was considered a dream and luxury that only a few could afford. The company also introduced installment schemes for packages way back in the 80s. The company continues to be innovative in its schemes and packages while adding new destinations. Over the past 31 years the Travel Tours Group has delighted travelers by offering the entire gamut of travel-related services, so travelers can indulge in a complete experience and one that they can cherish for an entire life time.
The Travel Tours Group is run by a team of over 240 travel professionals, offering personalized services, customized holiday packages of the highest quality, guaranteeing value for money, and unforgettable travel experiences.
Travel Air Group’s gross billing closed at Rs. 302 crore in the year 2007-08, and we are growing at over 20% per annum. In February 2006, India’s largest media company BCCL invested in the Travel Air Group and now holds a 13% stake. The group now owns two distinct brands – Travel Tours and Travel Air.

Our Vision
Our vision is to build a pan-India travel company - a brand that is synonymous with innovative products, fresh itineraries and newer destinations, and reaching out to every segment of the travel market.
Even as Far East continues to remain the most popular destination, owing to its proximity and easy accessibility from India and affordable pricing, we are actively promoting tours to exotic locations in Europe like Spain, and even China, Egypt, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
We have also started a Luxury Travel Division catering to the discerning customer. This division offers customers an exclusive range of high end vacation options and actively promotes up-market cruise brands like Star Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Princess Cruises, Cunard, Carnival Cruise Lines, Ocean Village, P&O Cruises and Seaborne Cruise lines.
Our Sports Travel Division is keenly promoting sports tours to give sports enthusiasts a chance to watch their favourite sporting event while indulging in new experiences and touring new destinations. Other than regular tours to the F-1 Circuits in Malaysia, Turkey, China and parts of Europe, we have also started Cricket and Golf tours.
To make our vision of panning India a reality, we have offices in Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and New Delhi. Our Mumbai office opened in May 2008.
Our franchising division is setting up a network of franchisees across India. We aim to be present in about 20 cities by end 2008.
