Bintan Resorts, in partnership with Travstarz Global Group, recently wrapped up a series of successful trade workshops in India’s rapidly growing outbound travel markets, held from June 11th to 13th, 2025. Held in the vibrant cities of Jaipur, Lucknow, and Indore, these events were part of a strategic effort to forge stronger relationships with Indian travel agents while promoting Bintan as a top-tier island destination for Indian tourists.
The workshops are created to showcase Bintan’s wide offerings and furnish travel experts with information that can promote the destination effectively among their clients. It’s aimed at boosting Bintan Resorts’ profile and popularity among Indian travelers, who are increasingly on the lookout for different and affordable holiday destinations in Southeast Asia.
Strategic Partnering with Key Partners
The workshops were led by Ms. Shakambri Soni of VFS Global – Tourism Services, which is a strategic partner of Bintan Resorts in India. VFS Global is one of the major players in the tourism industry and has been responsible for popularizing Bintan as a key holiday destination among Indian travelers. The sessions were led by Travstarz Global Group, a major outbound Destination Management Company (DMC), wholesaler, and consolidator in the travel market. Travstarz is recognized for providing exclusive B2B services and its track record of excellence made it a perfect partner for these workshops.
The events were held as evening affairs to ensure best possible attendance and participation. More than 35 high-performing travel agents from every market attended, chosen for their local market impact. 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.
As Bintan Resorts continues to strengthen its ties with the Indian travel trade, the island’s tourism profile is expected to rise, driving more bookings and long-term partnerships. The workshops, which provided a comprehensive look at the destination’s offerings, were well-received by agents, who are now better equipped to market Bintan to their clients. 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. Bintan, with its majestic landscapes and luxury options, stands ready to win more Indian travelers and grow its presence in India’s dynamic travel industry.
