Disha Shah Ghosh - Mumbai 
Cashing on the growing interest for Bali among Indian travellers with direct flight services, Mumbai-based SSR Travel Solutions recently hosted its first edition of the ‘Bali Luxury Show’ across New Delhi and Ahmedabad finally concluding the showcase in Mumbai. A delegation of 12 exhibitors including hotels and airlines interacted with the travel trade counterparts in each city on their offerings suited to the Indian clientele.
All the 12 exhibitors were unanimous in their opinion of the pleasant working experience with SSR Travel Solutions with quality business leads and conversion of deals, positioning the company among preferred choice of DMCs for Bali in India. Many of the exhibitors were first-time participants or entrants in India to gain their share of the burgeoning outbound pie from India.
Talking to TravelBiz Monitor, Sapneal Rao, Founder & CEO, SSR Travel Solutions, said, “This is must first roadshow with multiple hotels from Bali. The focus of SSRTS is luxury, and there are many quality hotels in Bali that don’t have visibility in India. These properties were keen to come to India and meet their trade partners. We have hotels from different locations in Bali participating at the roadshow, and having a limited number of exhibitors was a conscious choice to focus on the quality of discussions targeting the upcoming summer season. We have senior representatives of the hotels showcasing their top-notch facilities to cater to the Indian market.”
Rao said that they have plans to host the second edition of the roadshow in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Kolkata by end 2024 or early 2025. “With direct flight access by Vistara and IndiGo, these hotels were keen to have their presence in India. We had 120 premium agents interacting with these partners.”
