UK Representative Alison Cryer, who collected the award on behalf of Mahindra Homestays commented:
“It was clear when preparing to launch Mahindra Homestays in the UK that this was a new and unique concept that provided both a credible and more sustainable alternative to hotel accomodation, as well as local knowledge and a truly Indian experience for guests directly benefitting local communities. There has been huge interest since then and we are delighted that the unique qualities that each Mahindra Homestay brings to travelling to India have been recognised by Wanderlust.”
