We move mountains.
Move them closer to offices,
So when workaholics look up,
They see a holiday calling.

We make tides turn.
Turn in favour of sunny vacations.
So those who staycation,
Get out of bed and into bermudas.

We ferry adventures to people
And people to adventures.
So they never live a life
That's less than magical.

We make big moments, little by little.
Love, Reunion, Family photos.
So when life goes by in a flash
It's a montage of 198 sunsets.

We turn excuses into reasons
To take a holiday.
So people who can't say No
Say Yes to a holiday too.
Because we are here
To make holidays a priority.

We are SOTC.
We are for holidays.
