Vijaymohan, Founder and Director, Très.

The show received an overwhelming response from the boutique hotel community and with its limited space of 50 exhibitors being fully booked out it has a robust participation from hotels and lodges from India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka. Many of the exhibitors will be participating in a trade show in India for the first time.

The upcoming edition will also introduce a special section dedicated to travel concepts- specialist companies who curate interest specific experiences. From viewing the Amer Fort at eye level with Travel Plan Experiences in Jaipur to traveling with the Nomads with Mantra in Ladakh the range is distinct and diverse at the same time.

Très aims to motivate and stimulate travel to the Indian subcontinent through collaborations, shared growth and intensive engagements between the experience providers and the bespoke travel operators.

"There has been a growing demand for activity based travel experiences, travellers are seeking authentic and interactive stays along with unique activities in iconic destinations. The increased access to luxury brands and services to a wider demographic audience has seen its effect in their expectations from travel, that is constantly evolving making the task more tricky for travel operators.

Très aims to bring boutique hotels and specialist experience providers in one platform for the international and regional travel operators to engage with" says Sowmya.

Très delivers a bespoke one-to-one manually scheduled appointment system that is mutually decided by the exhibitors and hosted buyers. The by-invite 50 international hosted buyers represent major markets like the UK, Australia, Americas, Switzerland, France and Germany, while the 100 regional buyers are from Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata. The event matches meeting requests to meet to build on ideas, business opportunities and collaboration.
