When Zaheer Najeeb first visited China for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he didn’t expect his passion for travel to become a cross-cultural bridge. As the executive director of India’s Great India Tour Company, Zaheer has spent over a decade creating tourism routes that go beyond iconic landmarks like the Great Wall, diving deep into local lifestyles. 🧳✨
🗣️ 'It’s been eye-opening,' Zaheer told us. 'Travelers don’t just see sights—they share meals, learn traditions, and connect with communities. That’s how you *really* understand a place.' His tours, paused since COVID-19, once buzzed with curious Indians eager to explore China’s hidden gems—from bustling night markets to rural festivals.
💡 For young entrepreneurs and culture enthusiasts, Zaheer’s story is a reminder: travel isn’t just about selfies—it’s about building empathy. As he puts it, 'The more we interact, the smaller the world feels.' Here’s hoping borders reopen soon for more adventures! 🤝🌍
