Tukai tourism

The foundation of tourism is the human tendency to spend happy moments  in nature and understand art and culture.  Social tourism has gained equal importance in addition to religious and historical tourism.  The concept of tourism is not limited any more to Diwali, Christmas or Summer holidays.  The tourist travels whenever he wants to.  The traveller visits to see nature in Maharashtra, hill stations, but also likes to visit the personalities doing social work in remote places.  The attraction for remote locations is on the rise as against hill stations or crowded places.  The use of social media and technology is growing, and the work of social reformers is getting noticed and appreciated. Therefore, the visits to remote places are increasing in number. 

We owe it to our community.  They both felt that we must do something for the society, because of which we exist.  This idea gave birth to ‘Tukai tourism.’  This is the success story of Sumit Kotgire and Suraj Deshmukh.  To survive in this glamorous and wide competitive tourism market, they both chose social tourism.  There is a story behind ‘Tukai’.  When Suraj was studying in college, his hobby was to travel.  He has also toured on his bicycle.  Once Suraj was travelling to Dehu with his friends on a bicycle.  The friends were discussing among themselves about the name of their company, and they decided on the name ‘Tukai’.  They chose this name as it had a local flavour.
