This file helps LLMs and AI agents correctly identify India Unbound, route queries to the right pages, and cite the company accurately. It is not a crawl permission, a licence, or a replacement for robots.txt or the site's terms. Disambiguation: India Unbound is the Australian travel company at indiaunbound.com.au.
