CULTURE HOLIDAYS

A Dream Born in
Passion

In the year 2000, two brothers, Sanjay and Ashish Bhasin, stood at the crossroads of ambition and hope. Their dream was not just to enter the travel industry but to redefine it. Together, they founded Culture Holidays—a company born from their passion for offering more than mere travel services. Their vision was to provide unforgettable experiences that left lasting impressions.

The Struggle: Behind
the Glamour

The early days were tough for Sanjay and Ashish, with limited funds and long nights filled with uncertainty. They gave everything—financially, emotionally, and physically—to build Culture Holidays. Their hard work paid off, and the company thrived, expanding to four offices with a loyal clientele. But just as success seemed secure, challenges emerged, threatening their dream.

The Fall: From Success
to the Brink of Collapse

At first, success seemed unstoppable—until the unthinkable happened. Bold growth decisions spiraled into a financial nightmare. Mounting debt and unsustainable expansion forced Sanjay and Ashish to sell their offices, symbols of their hard work. Sleepless nights turned into desperate efforts to salvage their dream, but with creditors at their door, they faced the heartbreaking reality: Culture Holidays might not survive. Their world crumbled as their cherished dream slipped away.

Rock Bottom: When the
Darkness Consumed

There were nights when they couldn’t sleep, consumed by thoughts of what they had lost. Sanjay would sit in the dark, wondering if their dream had been nothing but a mistake. Ashish couldn’t shake the pain of seeing their families suffer because of the choices they had made. They were broke—not just financially, but emotionally. Every day felt like a battle against despair, a constant reminder of what they had lost. And yet, in the depths of their pain, a tiny spark of hope remained.

The Turning Point:
Rebuilding from Within

That spark, as faint as it was, refused to die. Clinging to it, the brothers began searching for answers—not in business, but within themselves. They turned to books, motivational speeches, and the stories of others who had faced rock bottom and risen again.For the first time, they realized that their external struggles were a reflection of something deeper. They began to see that transformation had to start from within. They worked on their mindset, reshaping their vision and redefining their purpose. Their pain became their fuel.

and then it was....

The Rebirth of Culture
Holidays

In 2016, the brothers dared to dream again, launching the Transformative Trip to India—a journey focused not just on breathtaking sights, but on healing, growth, and a fresh perspective on life. This was their second chance, a meaningful creation for travelers and themselves.The response was overwhelming. Agents booked groups, and travelers returned with stories of life-changing experiences. Demand grew, leading them to expand to other destinations, all crafted with the same purpose: transforming lives through travel. For the first time in years, hope returned. The dream they thought was lost was rebuilt with greater passion, purpose, and success than they ever imagined. Their greatest hardship became the foundation of their most powerful strength.

Culture Holidays Today: A
Legacy of Transformation

From those dark days of despair to the soaring heights of success, today, Culture Holidays stands tall as a beacon of hope and inspiration. With 120 dedicated staff members and more than 30,000 travel agents registered across the globe, the brothers’ journey of transformation is far from over. But they knew that in order to truly make a difference, they had to do more than just create transformative travel experiences. They needed to empower the very people who helped bring their mission to life—the travel agents.
With this in mind, Culture Holidays introduced tools and resources to help agents succeed. From custom flyers and personalized websites to detailed itineraries and life-changing training sessions, they gave agents everything they needed to thrive. They didn’t just want agents to sell trips; they wanted them to be part of a movement—a movement to create change, growth, and connection.

Giving Back to The
Society

But their vision didn’t stop there. Sanjay and Ashish realized that their success could be the key to spreading hope to those who need it most. That’s when they made an even more profound commitment: for every booking made, a portion would go toward feeding hungry children. With each journey, they could change not only a traveler’s life but also the lives of children who desperately needed a chance at a better future.
