Relationship-driven travel planning, a hallmark of Indian travel trade, continued to be a central focus.

Showcasing Bintan’s Unique Offerings

The workshops enabled visitors to experience Bintan’s wide range of products which can cater to various traveler needs. Bintan’s popularity as a tropical island is based on its ability to blend nature and luxury and adventure.

They were exposed to Bintan’s white sandy beaches, international-class resorts, outdoor activities and great golfing facilities. These attractions, coupled with its closeness to Singapore (only a 60-minute ferry trip away), render Bintan a perfect fit for Southeast Asia itineraries among Indian travelers. These workshops featured how Bintan suits various segments’ travel needs, such as families in search of relaxation, honeymooners searching for romantic gateways, adventure seekers, and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) planners in search of special venues for their events.

Through appealing to Indian travelers’ varied interests, workshops could help promote Bintan as a dynamic and attractive destination that can cater to a wide range of vacation modes. From scenic beaches and active resorts, the island offers something for everyone and is therefore a major option for vacations for families, honeymooners, and corporate retreats.

Growing Bintan Resorts’ Footprint in India

The workshops represented a major milestone for Bintan Resorts as part of its efforts to grow its presence in India. India represents one of the world’s fastest-growing outbound travel markets and is key to Bintan’s long-term success as a destination in world tourism. Besides offering useful information to travel agents, the workshops also represented a chance to reinforce partnerships and build future partnerships with key Indian travel trade players.

The initiative is expected to yield lasting benefits in terms of trade partnerships, and most importantly, it is anticipated to lead to increased interest in travel to Bintan from India. The growing number of Indian tourists seeking exotic and culturally rich destinations, coupled with Bintan’s accessibility and range of offerings, positions the island as a prime destination in Southeast Asia.

Bintan and Indian Tourists Have a Brighter Future Ahead

The success of these workshops is only the beginning of a bigger campaign aimed at persuading more Indian travelers to travel to Bintan. With its ultimate combination of luxury, adventure, and convenience, Bintan will become Indian tourists’ go-to destination in the upcoming years.

First and foremost, Bintan Resorts’ partnership with Travstarz Global Group and successful hosting of these workshops reflect growing importance of the Indian market for travel regions in Southeast Asia.
