Like many other great ventures in the world of travel, Akbar Travels of India also had a small beginning in the year 1978. The phenomenal success of the travel agency is on account of the vision and leadership of the Founder/Chairman & Managing Director Mr. Abdul Nazar. In the beginning, it was truly all service under one roof for the skilled and semi-skilled workers who left their native villages
to chase their Gulf dream. In addition to affordable air tickets, Akbar Travels provided land transportation, visa and immigration assistance, boarding and lodging. This business was started in the Seventies, when labor traffic to the Middle East was at its infancy. Today there are thousands of well settled non-resident Indians in all Gulf countries, who are grateful to Akbar Travels for helping them to realize their dream. Growth in India
