Be it for the textiles of India, or the chillies of Mexico or the ceramics of China, travelling always is a learning experience, Kiwis tell Mubin Sultan.

Tourists from New Zealand on a textile tourism visit to India.
IF YOU think India has limited tourist resources, then it is a myth. Tourists from world over are successfully recognizing many other things that India has as a reason to be visited. There are many characteristics about the country that need to be marketed as they stand out to be unique and authentically Indian. One such area is the Indian textile industry. Indian textiles are diverse, artistic, colorful and above all, beautiful enough to attract tourists. Indian diversity regarding dress is now an interesting topic for study for students and professionals related to fields of textiles and fashion.
A group of tourists from Australia and New Zealand recently visited Krishna district to explore the colours, designs, patterns and the other aspects that define Indian dressing. As a cold country, neither Australia nor New Zealand maybe able to introduce Indian dresses such as sarees, lehengas, salwars, suits etc. to the people of respective nations but the tourists were impressed by the vibrancy and artistic uniqueness of the products of Mangalagiri, Chirala etc. The tourists were confident that the weavers from Andhra Pradesh could make fashion statements elsewhere in the world if only they were given the exposure and training to blend Indian textile artistry with world trends in fashion.
Be it any age, people need no reason to travel. This group of middle-aged women who're having maximum fun while trying to learn proved this. "We have all taken leave from our everyday responsibilities, only to travel. There are so many things that are waiting to be explored, there is so much beauty in the world and every part of the world is so different from the other, making traveling a new experience each time," they say as they leave to their next destination, Tirupati to catch a glimpse of the seriousness of Indian devotion.
