How has 2025 been for your organisation in terms of overall performance and market response?
Year 2025 has been a strong and steady year for Intrepid Marketing and Communications. Participation in OTM 2025 helped us build early-year momentum for our clients, including the Moroccan National Tourism Office (MNTO), which saw significant tourist footfalls this year. The recently organised MNTO multi-city MICE roadshow highlighted Morocco’s appeal as a future-ready MICE destination and attracted a strong turnout of tour operators and agents from multiple cities.
Our hospitality client, Sun Siyam Resorts, celebrated a milestone with their 35th anniversary events in Delhi and Mumbai, where they unveiled a refreshed, culture-led brand identity – “The Home of the Maldivian Spirit.” Additionally, we debuted representation for Costa Navarino in India, laying the groundwork for its entry into the Indian outbound travel market, including a collaborative event with the Greek Embassy in Delhi.
What stood out this year was the quality of interest rather than just the volume. We observed a clear rise in slow travel, offbeat and less tourist-heavy locations, and more thoughtful family and HNI travel.
Have there been any new additions to your portfolio or clientele this year, and how have these strengthened your presence in the Indian market?
Yes. In 2025, we added Sun Siyam Resorts Maldives, NextMile Travel DMC Czechia, and Costa Navarino, Greece to our portfolio.
These clients will strengthen our portfolio by allowing us to support diverse destination needs; from Maldives’ luxury and romance-led travel, to authentic Central European experiences, to premium Mediterranean positioning through Costa Navarino. By representing these brands in India, we are able to build stronger trade relationships, drive more targeted storytelling, and create deeper visibility for each destination across media and the travel fraternity.
How is India performing as a source market in international tourism, and do you have any strategic announcements lined up for 2026?
India continues to be one of the most promising and fast-evolving source markets. Demand is strong from metros, but the real story is in emerging cities.
For 2026, we are looking at expanding our destination portfolio in regions where Indian travellers are showing strong early intent, while strengthening our focus on weddings, luxury, and experience-led storytelling. We also plan to invest more in integrated campaigns and market-specific communication strategies that help destinations connect more personally with the evolving Indian traveller.
