00:13 you know, in this kind of situation was very difficult.
00:16 And also brave on part of the participants to be a part of it was a great thing.
00:22 You know, whenever we talk about travel, we say, you know, when you travel,
00:27 when you are traveling outside and it has stopped, then why don't you travel inside?
00:31 And this is exactly what happened with the awards this time because
00:35 when the industry was not being able to travel outside, you know,
00:39 this was an opportunity through this award to actually travel inside and see and experience
00:46 what the entire travel industry is going through.
00:50 And then as everyone said, you know, finding some new means,
00:54 more than new normal, I would say something, what is more better normal can we have through this.
01:01 And this was an opportunity, you know, this kind of situation was an opportunity
01:06 for more responsible minds and more responsible actions on behalf of the industry,
