Disha Shah Ghosh - Mumbai Tara Travel New Zealand, a DMC, has set its eyes firmly on the Indian market.
Talking to TravelBiz Monitor during his recent visit to India, Sachin Sarin, Director, Tara Travel New Zealand, said, “The DMC business is an extension of Sarin Hotels, and we realised the B2B market is a huge space in the Indian market. There are HNI clients in India that are shifting towards more unique experiences, and that’s the market we are catering to.”
A noticeable trend among Indian VFR travellers visiting New Zealand is their interest in exploring different parts of the country. “Post their stay in Auckland, VFR travellers from India are keen to visit different parts of New Zealand. The demand for New Zealand is rapidly growing, and we are hopeful of ease in visa issuance, and improved air access in the near future. While we cater to the GIT and FIT segments, we are keen to develop the FIT vertical with our luxury portfolio.”
Besides nature, New Zealand offers variety in adventure, history and culture.
In India, Tara Travel New Zealand is working with tour operators for wholesale contracts, as well as direct sales besides participating in select roadshows.
