Bollywood stars Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal recently chose Amora Beach Resort Phuket to celebrate their second wedding anniversary. Their choice reflects a broader travel trend that is reshaping luxury tourism across Southeast Asia. Increasingly, Indian travellers are seeking destinations that blend exclusivity with authenticity, offering experiences that feel intimate rather than extravagant.

Some holidays are about ticking destinations off a bucket list. Others become cherished memories that linger long after the bags are unpacked. For actress and social media personality Anita H. Reddy, her husband, entrepreneur Rohit Reddy, and their son Aaravv Reddy, their recent getaway to Abu Dhabi turned into exactly that... a heartwarming family adventure filled with discovery, excitement and unforgettable experiences.
In an exclusive interview with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Deepak Nangla, Managing Director of Premier by Brightsun, shares his perspectives on modern luxury travel, the growing importance of personalization and storytelling, the rise of conscious travel, and the unforgettable experiences that have shaped his own philosophy of hospitality and exploration.
Here in an exclusive interview with Sumita Chakraborty, Founder & Editor-in-Chief, TheGlitz, Abhinav Pathak, CEO & Co-Founder, Escape Plan, speaks about building Escape Plan, the future of Indian travel culture, the psychology of design-led mobility, lessons from scaling Perpule, and why the next generation of Indian consumers no longer wants products that merely function — they want products that reflect who they are becoming.
The premium menswear and lifestyle label under The House of Rare has officially entered the travel gear category through a strategic collaboration with Escape Plan, unveiling two sleek luggage collections — Gallardo and Tony — designed for the new-age traveller who believes style should never stop at the wardrobe. Now, it’s taking that same design language beyond fashion and into movement — because today’s consumer doesn’t just dress well; they travel well too.
From geopolitical tensions and rising fuel prices to shifting visa rules and climate concerns, travel is no longer just about where you go... it’s about navigating a world that feels constantly in flux. And yet, in this disruption and uncertainty, something interesting is happening. Travel isn’t losing its charm; it’s simply evolving into something more thoughtful, more intentional.
There’s a saying that travel opens the mind and fills the heart... and nowhere did I feel this more than on my journey through Belgium, thanks to Belgium Tourism. For an Indian traveller like me, Belgium was both familiar and foreign, a place where centuries-old history sits beside modern culture, where art meets everyday life, and where every meal feels like a celebration. My route covered Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, and Brussels... each city unique, yet stitched together by that quintessential Belgian charm.
