Dubai: A Large number of Tuluvas have arrived in Dubai to take part in the ‘Vishwa Tulu Sammelana’ and to tour the area. Rev. Fr. Ebnezer Jathanna of CSI and Richard Castelino arrived today along with many other guests.
Wanderlust Tourism has successfully arranged to bring a big number of Tuluvas from Mangaluru, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi, all of whom arrived in Dubai today. Sabitha Shetty and Shodhan Prasad have arranged this ‘Official Tour’, especially to support those Tuluvas who wanted to attend the Vishwa Tulu Sammelana. They will all go on the same, starting tomorrow and also participate in the two-day Vishwa Tulu Sammelana.
The visiting Tuluvas, most of whom are families and different age groups, were given a Middle Eastern welcome with dates and juices. They will be staying at different properties of the Fortune Group of Hotels.
There are still more guests expected to arrive in Dubai over the next 48 hours.
An unfortunate development has also come to light regarding this event. It is learnt that some miscreants made use of the opportunity and duped unsuspecting Tuluvas under the pretence offering low budget tours. Some of those who fell prey to the scam have been stranded at the Mangalore International Airport while some others landed in Dubai not knowing where to go. Some have tried to contact Praveen Shetty of the Fortune Group of Hotels and President of the KNRI Dubai for help.
