When asked about the collaboration, Raffaella Mischiati, Destinations General Manager explains, “The opportunities that India provides are as vast as the subcontinent itself. Apart from royal hospitality and warmth, corporate groups can expect a gamut of luxurious experiences with meticulously crafted and hand-picked programmes, as well as taking advantage of the excellent event management capabilities which Ultimate India has to offer.”
