Rayna Tours, a UAE-based DMC, successfully hosted its first-ever destination road show, the “UAE Leisure Roadshow”, held from February 26 to March 1, 2024. The three-day extravaganza spanned across three cities in South India, gracing prestigious venues in Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kochi, showcasing the UAE as a diverse and year-round destination.
Featuring 15 key partners from UAE hotels and attractions, Rayna Tours presented the UAE as an ideal destination for all types of travellers. The event emphasized family-friendly entertainment, bespoke luxury experiences, affordable summer getaways, various leisure choices, and MICE activities.
The multi-city roadshow witnessed a steady influx of stakeholders from the Indian travel community. Attendees had the opportunity to connect with UAE hoteliers and tourism representatives, as well as engage with Rayna Tours’ key personnel, including Senthil Velan (CEO), Deepak Hiranandani (Chief Commercial Officer), and Ranjan Kumar Singh (B2B Head).
Esteemed partners, including Atlantis The Royal, Atlantis, The Palm, AYA, Emaar, Balloon Flights, Dubai Dolphinarium, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Miral Destinations, Golden Sands Hotel Apartments, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton by
Hilton, Gromaxx, Majestic Hotels, and Rayna Properties actively interacted with attendees, showcasing their unique and latest services. The event created a dynamic platform for meaningful collaborations and building new strategic connections through insightful Q&A sessions and one-on-one interactions.
The UAE Leisure Roadshow was a resounding success, notable for being Rayna Tours’ inaugural roadshow, a departure from the conventional approach where tourism authorities typically take the lead. As a destination management company, Rayna Tours spearheaded this initiative, highlighting its strong relationship with the agent community.
The event served as a platform for partners and stakeholders to showcase individual projects to an extensive network. Rayna Tours’ media representative emphasized, “Travel is not just a business for us; it’s our passion deeply ingrained in our team’s DNA. Our dedicated professionals bring a level of experience and knowledge far beyond that of generic stakeholders, reflecting our commitment to customer satisfaction.”
The UAE Leisure Roadshow is just the beginning, aiming to elevate awareness in India about the UAE’s iconic attractions and diverse offerings. Building on the success of the first roadshow, Rayna Tours plans to make it a regular feature across major cities in India, with the next phase focusing on the northern part of the country.
