In a remarkable move that underlines the burgeoning prospects within the luxury travel segment, Mrs Jyoti Mayal in collaboration with Mr Chander Mansharamani of Alpcord, is thrilled to unveil an exciting event: The Iconic Experiences Show. This extraordinary two-day affair is scheduled for October 16th to 17th, 2023, and will be hosted at the prestigious Hyatt Regency in New Delhi. During a virtual press conference, Mrs. Mayal shared a sneak peek into this remarkable event.
Birth of The Iconic Experiences Show (TIES)
Mrs Jyoti Mayal conveyed her inspiration behind The Iconic Experiences Show, saying, “Just as every great success commences with a humble idea, TIES was conceived with the notion that, in the post-pandemic world, travellers are seeking experiential adventures rather than the usual mundane itineraries. To cater to these discerning explorers, travel agents must go the extra mile – break free from convention and explore unique, out-of-the-box concepts, which many have yet to explore. TIES will offer them a platform to directly engage with states, countries, attractions, and DMCs, enabling them to craft truly iconic experiences for their clients.”
Scaling New Heights
To test the waters for this unique show, the Experiential Show has kept this year’s edition relatively small in size and format. However, plans for next year are already in motion to make it three times more extensive and more diverse. TIES 2023 is set to spotlight five pivotal sectors within the industry: Weddings, Wellness, Leisure, Conferences, and Sustainability. Notably, several countries, including Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, Korea, Germany, and more, are in the process of confirming their participation. Moreover, numerous states and DMCs have also expressed their intent to join the event. The Business Session on October 16th will focus intensively on the aforementioned sectors and will include exclusive features such as Master Classes by renowned personalities, along with a series of captivating ‘surprise elements.’ The full-day Tourism Summit will feature an enlightening session where leading women in the tourism and hospitality sector share sustainability insights.
Reaffirming the Travel Agent’s Relevance
Mrs Mayal passionately declared, “I firmly believe that the era of Travel Agents is far from over. In fact, everyone I’ve spoken to expresses a desire to collaborate with travel agents, be they a consumer or a supplier. The onus is on travel agents to up their game, and TIES is a significant stride in that direction. This is why we’ve opted not to restrict it to a closed-door event with only pre-booked meetings. In terms of buyers, we’ve extended invitations to golfers, wedding planners, HNIs, women influencers, and more. We’ve also organized Power Breakfasts, and High Tea gatherings, and created additional opportunities for buyers and exhibitors to engage in quality interactions.”
A Glimpse of What’s to Come
A comprehensive program, complete with session details and a lineup of speakers, will be shared with the media in the near future. The Iconic Experiences Show promises to be a transformative event, redefining the landscape of luxury travel and experiential adventures in 2023. Don’t miss out on this monumental gathering that’s set to shape the future of the travel industry.
