Our awards and accreditations stand as a testament to the dedication, hard work, and commitment that define our organisation. Notably, we are the first South Indian company to receive five National Tourism Awards as the Best Inbound Tour Operator in India from the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. Cholan Tours was also recognised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) as one of the Top 25 Innovative Organisations in India. Further strengthening this recognition, we won the CII Industrial Innovation Award 2016 in the Service-Medium Enterprises category.

In October 2016, at the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) Regional Export Awards for the year 2014-15, Cholan Tours was honoured with the Gold Award in the Best Service Provider category in the Southern Region.

These awards and recognitions continually motivate us to enhance the value we deliver, contribute meaningfully to society, and play our part in nation-building.
