Shravan Bhalla, Vice President, OTOAI
From OTOAI’s perspective, 2026 will focus on deeper engagement, advocacy, and member growth. We will continue partnering with trade shows in India and overseas, strengthen our membership drive to attract quality outbound agents, and actively pursue key issues—especially TCS—with the government. Educational tours to unexplored destinations, along with webinars and networking initiatives, will remain central to our efforts to build knowledge, collaboration, and long-term value for our members.
Amaresh Tiwari, MD, AT Seasons and Vacations Travel
2026 represents confident expansion and diversification. We have launched a high-end experiential brand, “Good Food Journeys,” to promote India’s vast culinary heritage, and the response has been extremely encouraging. We have also opened an office in Latin America and are targeting Spanish-speaking markets in the coming years. Alongside inbound tourism, our MICE division, Meetings and Incentives World, is focused on delivering high-value corporate incentive solutions. Innovation, experiential depth, and value creation will remain central to our growth journey.
Dev Karvat, Founder & CEO, Asego
At Asego, our vision for 2026 is to further strengthen our role as a trusted travel protection partner to the Indian travel trade. Our focus will remain on co-creating relevant, purpose-led protection solutions that address evolving traveller risks, while empowering agents through technology, training, and seamless support, driving mutual success and growth. We aim to expand our assistance-led offerings to reach a wider audience, deepen our presence in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, and continue innovating across real-time travel support services, digital enablement, and specialised protection solutions.
Rajeev Kohli and Rohit Kohli, Jt. Managing Directors, Creative Travel
Our vision has remained consistent, to be the best at what we do. We chase quality over volume, and our plans are aligned in that direction. We are increasing our footprint in our existing markets and we are planning to increase our team as well as our global network. We are trying to focus on niche products, and there’s a strong focus on our outbound luxury brand ‘Away & Co’ which has been doing very well over the last few years. We will be entering our 49th year, so exciting times are coming up for us.
