Mumbai: Tarzan Nature Retreat, EBG Group’s nature-hospitality platform, has announced the launch of its Tarzan Licensing / Property Upgrade Model, an initiative designed to convert India’s fragmented offbeat stays into trusted, branded nature-hospitality destinations. Across India, scenic farmstays, eco-stays, nature camps, boutique resorts and independent retreats are emerging in forests, farms, hillsides, beaches, river belts and rural corridors.
