Strengthening its on-ground connection with the travel trade, Global Destinations concluded its 6th Annual Roadshow, bringing together 8 tourism brand partners and engaging with over 200 travel agents across Surat, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata. The multi-city initiative provided a focused platform for knowledge exchange, product updates, and the strengthening of meaningful relationships with the travel fraternity.
The cities were strategically selected for their growing outbound relevance. While Tier II markets such as Surat continue to demonstrate strong momentum, metro hubs like Kolkata and Ahmedabad remain key source markets for high-value, well-travelled clients seeking new destinations, innovative itineraries, and immersive travel experiences. The inclusion of at least one Tier II city is a conscious element of Global Destinations’ annual roadshow strategy, aimed at engaging trade partners who cater to discerning, high-spending clientele and offer strong growth potential.
Participating partners included AlliedTPro (USA), Australia & Worldwide Travel (Australia), Desert Adventures (UAE, Jordan & Oman), Escapes & Co. Travel (Morocco), Private Safaris (East Africa), Sopa Lodges (East Africa), Tangerine Tours (Sri Lanka), Threeland Travel (Indo China), and World of Travel Factory (Greece & Cyprus), each offering destination insights and product updates to support trade partners during a critical planning phase.
Sharing his perspective, Pranav Kapadia, Founder & Director, Global Destinations, said, “Our roadshow is not just about reach, but about relevance. Its timing, just ahead of the peak travel season, allows trade partners direct access to destination insights when client enquiries are strongest. Engaging closely with partners across both emerging and established markets enables us to align offerings with evolving traveller expectations and grow business collaboratively.”
Global Destinations’ participation at OTM 2026 preceded the roadshow, enabling engagement with a wide network of travel professionals and reinforcing visibility for partner destinations during one of the industry’s key business events.
With strong participation and high-quality interactions across all three cities, the initiative reaffirmed Global Destinations’ commitment to empowering the trade and strengthening outbound travel growth across India.
