Opening a window to the world, the STIC way
Subhash Goyal, owner-founder of the 46-year old STIC Travel Group — one of the largest travel groups in India representing about 20 of the world’s travel, aviation, tourism, cruise and hotel brands exclusively — entered the travel business by accident.
As a Delhi University student leader, Goyal got an invitation to visit Japan but he was short on cash. He was assured that if he managed to convince 15 people to travel with him, his ticket would be free.
Goyal managed to get the 15 people and attended the conference sometime in the early 1970s.
The experience made Goyal decide that his future was going to be in the travel industry. He set up the Student Travel Information Centre or STIC in 1973.
