TBM Staff - Mumbai Travstarz Global Group, a Trip.com-invested company concluded its multi-city roadshow with its last show in Indore last month. The show started with Travstarz Egypt DMC Showcase in Delhi which was presented by Ali ElSamman, Director – Operations, Travstarz Egypt DMC who was in India.
It was followed up by Travstarz networking events in Amritsar, Pune, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Ludhiana and finally concluding at Indore over the last few months of 2024. The well attended events saw over 40 to 50 agents in each city even for Lunch Events on working days.
Pankaj Nagpal, Managing Director, Travstarz Global Group added “We restarted our operations late in 2022 post covid and as a part of our revised strategy to focus on our Core Business of DMC and Hotel Consolidations, Visas and Marketing, we took this initiative to reconnect with all our Travel Agent Partners across India who have been supporting us for the past over 15 years now to showcase our latest offerings in terms of our Destinations and services. We have discontinued selling few destinations and have added newer and more interesting destinations like Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Japan and Vietnam to our Portfolio and have a strong on ground presence in these countries. With our Partner Head Quarters in Los Angeles, USA, we now have unique and unmatched offering for USA and Canada both with over 600 short and long-haul itineraries for these countries alone. Also, as a part of our new strategy, we now have pre-purchased inventory of hotels and flights at various destinations with excellent rates and service delivery and we wanted to share the same further and network and reconnect with all our partners once again and there is no better way than to personally visit them in their city for maximum impact.”
“We have made several changes to our working pattern post reopening and our full focus in now on our DMC Operations, Visa Services and Marketing Partnerships with Hotels, Excursions and Tourism Boards. Over the past 2 years we have worked with Vana Nava Water Jungle Park, Hua Hin and Anda Manda Park, Phuket as their MARKETING Partner to name a few. Apart from Heading the Overall Operations of the Company, I now personally lead the Visa Assistance Services for USA, Canada and Europe Visa with thorough in-depth knowledge of these countries with a 100% success rate in the past over 2 years.
This is besides the E-Visa Services that we offer for various countries. Even during Pre-Covid times, We were in the Preferred Agency for Canadian High Commission also. It was very important that we personally interact with our agent partners in these shows to highlight these new developments and we received an overwhelming response in all our events with more than expected turnout in every city” added Sucheta Nagpal, Director & CEO, Travstarz Global Group.
Vani Singh, Vice President, Travstarz Global Group, added, “Our focus has always been Tier-II and III cities, and now we have all witnessed the huge volume of outbound business coming from these cities. Post Covid there had been a disconnect somewhat with our agent partners and these shows were our way to connect and revive all our old partnerships and associations. Owing to our solid past relations we were welcomed with open arms in each city and we were able to clear a lot of ambiguities with our discussions and presentations during these shows. We are already receiving good volumes of business form these cities and it continues to grow with each passing day. We plan to start another round of events now with a focus on South and East India starting September, 2024.”
