SHREE RAJ TRAVELS & TOURS LTD
 
INTRODUCTION
Shree Raj Travels & Tours Ltd was established in 1976 by Mr. Lalit Sheth - Chairman & Managing Director. It was his vision to provide the Indian traveler with SUPERIOR quality package tour facilities. He ensured that the services of Raj Travels would be totally customer focused and would maintain their exclusivity. The objective was to make family holiday tours more comfortable, more exciting, and most memorable. His passion was to CHANGE the entire scenario that existed in the Indian market. An array of NEW services were introduced by Raj Travels that were welcomed by customers with open arms. Within a short span of time Raj Travels revolutionized the entire travel industry. The CHANGE had taken place and Raj Travels began its journey to become the Number 1 Outbound Tour Operator in the country.

Raj Travels was the first Outbound Tour Company to introduce Indian Meals on its Global Tour Packages. Raj Travels was the first tour operator to start package tours to Australia & New Zealand. Way back in 1986 when Raj Travels launched Caravan Kitchens and started serving "Indian Cuisine - Hot Meals" in Europe, the customer response was so dynamic that it changed the face of "Indian Tours" forever. The biggest players in the industry were compelled to follow suit and It was a do or die situation for many. Raj Travels has been renowned for PIONEERING some of the most admired "Customer Services" in tourism. Today, we proudly continue to enjoy the Number 1 position in the outbound tours industry with 31 operational offices in India.
