00:00 I'm absolutely privileged to have been a jury member in this Indian Responsible Tourism
00:14 Award sponsored by Outlook Traveller. And we've had fantastic discussions today. Having
00:26 been in this sector for now more than 15 years, having travelled the length and breadth of
00:35 this country, there were so many things that I have seen where so much can be done, whether
00:46 it is our coastlines, whether it is our forest, whether it's our heritage, whether it's our
00:53 museums, whether it's our mountains, whether it's our coastal areas. You know, degradation
01:04 keeps taking place. There have to be people to stop that, to initiate measures, to think
01:14 about responsibility towards nature and animals. And that is what is responsible tourism. I
01:24 mean, sustainable tourism. If you do not think ahead, you will reach a day when you will
01:33 be left to say, sorry, I should have thought when I didn't. So with that perspective, I
01:42 was able to hear some fantastic presentations, the long list and the short list and fantastic
01:51 it was. And I have enjoyed every bit of it, of this interaction, which has been my very
01:57 first time in this manner. Thank you.
