they can live a different life, a better life!”

Indies in 1962, Mid Day, April 14, 2007
“The tourism industry at the time when I started was not as big as it is right now. It was limited to corporate tourism. People went abroad only for buying machinery and plastics.”

“We must learn to manage people, not personnel. It’s not about the
head, it’s about the heart.”
