About the company

in PUNE, INDIA at the heart of the city is a division of
Kaleidoscope
Travel Consultants Pvt Ltd an International Air
Transport Association (IATA) agency and member of Travel

(MTDC). Being an active member of the wide network of SKAL
International spread in 120 countries, it is able to obtain the
best competitive rates all over the world.
Holiday Bash International is perceived in its local market
place as being friendlier, more flexible, approachable and
versatile. This is due to the high quality of HBI’s products,
the consistent level of service offered to the traveling public,
and the fact that HBI, in a world where competitors are
centralizing, maintains largely autonomous yet personalized
local reservations and operations facilities.
Locational Advantage
Located in the prime commercial district of the city,
HBI's city office is regarded as the most ideally located in
the prime commercial centre in Pune. Hundreds of people come
to HBI / Kaleidoscope daily to take advantage of one or
another of the many facilities on offer.
Our Unique Philosophy
Our Founding Principles
are quality performance, creativity and flexibility and our
services reflect our customer’s interest, preferences,
time-frame and budget. It has been our Main
Principle from the beginning that HBI should not
simply book and print tour itineraries, and robotically
distribute pre-printed brochures. Personalised services and
innovation make HBI a leader in the travel market. Compared
to a general service Tour Company, HBI goes further and
deals with the entire range of potential travel services.
We call our colleagues Travel Advisors who answer even
those questions clients have not yet asked; our aim is to
assist with the most useful advice, ideas, and information
possible. Our young, dynamic professionals
are a vital part of the organization who provide most
professional services and are committed to ensuring that our
customers enjoy the personal attention that they deserve.
We are convinced that besides being
sensitive to prices, people tend to choose their Travel Agency
on the basis of reliability. We work with the most professional
and dependable suppliers of land services at our destinations
and it is our aim to provide passengers with the best advice and
value-added trips worth their money. The purpose of our
organization is simply, helping our customers get exactly what
they want at the best value available. Consequently,
we are capable of providing an exceptionally complex range of
products and integrated services for both individual and
corporate clients in order to satisfy multi-faceted and
heterogeneous demands. We believe that our goal, both
professionally and financially, will be achieved by consistently
exceeding our clients expectations.
