This opportunity gave us the boost to know that we were going in the right direction, especially when we received this appreciation only 3 years after the company’s inception.
It was a learning experience to raise the bar and forge new relationships with like-minded people. The Folk Tales was honoured to be among the Top 5 finalists in the ‘Best Cultural Immersion Operator’ category.
