With its first successful buy out in 2019; Island Hopper already has over 21% share of Indian Travel Market to Maldives as a destination. This move can be orchestrated as, the biggest consolidator, Island Hopper buying out the second best in the market.
Mr. Ankush Nijhawan, Co-Founder, TBO Group, said “Gemini merger will help Island Hopper further expand its presence in South India Market and consolidate its numero uno position as an Island Specialist even further. This acquisition would also help in providing our customers more hotel options especially in the luxury segment in Maldives. Mr. Subbaram Mani & Mrs. Raji Subbaram are one of the pioneers promoting Maldives as a destination. They also have a great respect amongst the hotel partners in Maldives, which would further help Island Hopper deliver a better customer experience for its clients. Mr. Subbaram & Ms. Raji Subbaram will continue to work with Island Hopper heading its South India Business and operations for Island Hopper. Post a successful merger of Island Hopper with TBO Group, Island Hopper business has already grown more than 100% year on year for Island Destinations despite troubled Covid times and have been top supplier for most resorts across Maldives.
