Why Syedna is travelling arround the world ?

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

Can any one in this forum will tell me why syedna is travelling arround the world with his full crew members, with his own charter plane, why he is not travelling alone with ordinary Flights ?
Is this for money, Fame or something else, maybe for preaching purpose ?
What is the basic aim for these travels, I don`t think at the age of 90 plus one has so wish for travels.
Will any body gives some explanation of this issue ?

Few reasons as explained to me by an inside source why Sayedna Saheb is traveling around the world with his full crewmembers and that too at the age of 90 plus when one does wish for travels:
1) The so-called Royal family of Sayedna Saheb which had just 350 members at the time of Late Sayedna Saheb now has more than 1,500 members, each one wanting the same luxurious life. These members have distributed areas of their Amaalat all over the world. Each one wants to collect as much money as possible by exploiting the official position of Dai. So he takes the Dai to his area of Amaalat and organizes functions solely for fund collection.
2) In each their area these so called Sadat-Karam and also Amils carry on illegal transfer huge funds in foreign currency especially during Ramazan. So they need to entertain the government agencies lavishly to make them partners in their crimes. They heavily bribe the Executives of the Bureaucracy, Judges of the High Court, Members of the District Management, Taxation authorities and the Media and Muslim political leaders and ulemas. Every now and then they take Sayedna Saheb to their respective areas and organize huge functions, under pretext of inauguration of some renovated mosque or Milad or Muharram and invite these government dignitaries and present them hefty envelopes loaded with money to get their favour for their illegal activities.
Therefore though unwilling Sayedna Saheb has to constantly travel and sit under floodlights for hours to deliver his sermon at this advanced age.
There is no religion left in our community and everything revolves round moneymaking. It is most unfortunate.

Sayedna Saheb travels around in his own charter plane and not in ordinary Flights because their stakes are high and for such high stakes they have project him as extra-ordinary.
