    It's about being culturally fluent ...

  • Music, dance, art, photography, crafts, cuisine

    are the alphabet in the language of travel ...

     

    The language of travel is tangible -- experiences designed to share knowledge,

    exchange customs and extend friendships across borders.

    Through the mediums of live performances, television and film, festivals that showcase cuisine, art and photography, we bring international cultures closer, make them distinct, and able to be shared with mass audiences in world class venues.
