While the customer is travelling from their expressed “Alaya/Storehouse” of intentions, the people of “Alaya Travels ”who are fulfulling on this are also coming from their “Alaya/Storehouse” of intentions like making sure that every customer is taken care of, looked after and provided with an experience that is both luxurious and in line with the intention of the customer.
Alaya’s travellers are people who have inspiring intentions in their lives be it contributing to the community, skilling themselves, expanding their networks, travelling in luxury, exploring cultures around the world etc. Alaya Travels partners with them in fulfilling some or all of their intentions.
Alaya Travels over 19 years have created such relationships with every part of their ecosystem. The people who run Alaya Travels across the value chain are a demonstration of creating these nurturing relationships with the travellers. The travellers themselves have created these kinds of relationships in their lives and are delighted to create these relationships on their travels.
Life for a stakeholder of Alaya is an adventure and these adventures become these inspiring stories. Hearing a story of a stakeholder of Alaya Travel will fill one with inspiration as to what is possible, touch their humanity and have them seek adventures of their own.
The circle represents the Globe and the line through it is the life of a traveller, leaving an ephemeral trail in their wake, like a footprint in sand, gone with time but leaving an impact nonetheless. The stroke is like that of a crayon, not strong, not uniform like the unique experience of a traveller from one day to another.
