The Cocoon Collection Maldives, led by Simmi Pai and Satyeash Pai, recently collaborated with Amit Sivaraman, Head of Sales at DMC Maldives, to host an exclusive networking event for partners in Kochi, Kerala. The event showcased resorts under the Cocoon Collection umbrella, including JOY, Cocoon Maldives, and YOU & ME, and was attended by partners from Kochi and nearby cities such as Calicut, Trivandrum, and Malappuram.
The tailored offerings for the Indian market, such as diverse dining options, premium liquor, and Indian, vegetarian, and Jain food selections, stood out to the agents. The Cocoon Collection’s flexibility in addressing the needs of Indian agents and consumers was greatly appreciated.
The variety and unique features across the three resorts impressed the agents. YOU & ME, an adults-only resort, offers a serene and exclusive atmosphere, while Cocoon and JOY cater to both couples and families, providing diverse experiences to suit different preferences. Signature features such as YOU & ME’s H2O Underwater Dining, a Michelin-star experience, and Slide Villas at Cocoon and YOU & ME added an element of novelty. JOY and Cocoon stand out with family-friendly activities, while JOY also offers paddle tennis facilities and all resorts provide engaging evening entertainment.
Agents appreciated the balance of offerings at each resort, catering to active experiences, entertainment, or tranquil beach escapes, ensuring something for everyone. A product update on the Cocoon Collection and one-on-one interactions with the team were key highlights of the event. The owners’ background as former travel agents turned hoteliers strengthened the connection with the agents, demonstrating their deep understanding of the travel business.
The event concluded with the unveiling of a special offer for bookings in November and December at exclusive rates through DMC Maldives, which was well received by the agents and reinforced the commitment to delivering value and tailored offerings to the Indian market.
