Travel in 2026 is all about strategically channelising unforeseen reservation challenges – political war threats, economic pressures, environment hazards, and intense competition.
To combat these very external and hypothetical threats, members of the travel trade are actively participating in expos and trade shows to stay connected and competitive, gain network opportunities, showcase new destinations/packages, and directly engage with B2B or B2C customers to boost sales and brand visibility.
At Ark Travel Group, our planning had strategically started off with a business growth map of 2026 from mid-2025 itself, by participating in major workshops, expos and trade shows; including designing a series of webinars to update travel agents and sales representatives with the latest updates and offerings from a plethora of brands we represent.
One of the roads to increasing travel business revenues is taking part in expos and workshops, viewed Kishan Biyani, Managing Director, Ark Travel Group, who is excited about 2026 and is optimistically looking forward to a gigantic growth in the cruise business. According to him, “The year is going to witness exponential expansion of interesting portfolios to market, starting from Dream Cruises, Cordelia, and Norwegian Cruise Line movements for the FITs for summer season looks great. In broader sense, markets for cruising are surely going to grow big with Disney Adventure Cruise Line coming to Singapore and taking the business to new heights.”
Innovating our travel trade, one workshop at a time, is also the vision shared by Anju Tandon, Founder & CEO, who has been spearheading and organising many webinars across India to showcase unique value, and garnering mileage on a plethora of international travel portfolios – Europamundo Vacations, Club Med, to name a few.
In 2026, to unlock global opportunities, one requires extreme agility and needs to offer diversifying destinations along with personalised experiences.
Winning prospective business at travel trade shows and workshops is the agenda for the moment and we at Ark Travel Group are here to further strengthen Ark group’s B2B network and maintain lasting relationships, gather market insights, and drive direct bookings and partnerships in a competitive global market.
Anjum Lokhandwala, Founder & Director ARKRep, forecasted 2026 as the year of personalised travels with emotional experiences over just luxury. She further quantified, “In fact, we are organising 4 city Roadshows for Serena Hotels across India to create the right buzz and visibility for destinations like Kenya & Tanzania. We also plan on doing FAM trips to Iceland / Scandinavia / Dubai / Kenya & Tanzania to give the agents a firsthand experience of the destination and its offerings.
These events will ensure consistent engagement, offering clear value, data capture, and strong follow-ups for lasting conversion…”
