The recent Robinville Tourism Conclave—The Roadshow, by Robinville Intech in association with its partners, saw the bigwigs of the travel trade industry from three cities in India— Delhi, Mumbai and Jaipur— know more about the destinations on showcase. The three-city roadshow involved presentations highlighting the attractions of Austria, Germany and Hungary as preferred destinations for not only Indian outbound travellers but also Indian film productions.Speaking at the event, Ishvinder Maddh said, “We have a big focus on tourism into Austria and our neighbours Germany, Hungary, Czech, Slovakia, and Croatia. These are the countries we are focusing on from the Indian market, bridging certain gaps between our European partners and the Indian travel fraternity. We see ourselves as a company which helps our Indian travel fraternity to get the right answers and solutions for their client requirements.”

Last year, there were 192,000-plus arrivals from the Indian market; there is huge potential because the average stay is 1.8 days at the moment

He added that the roadshow proved to be quite successful for them. “We have got tremendous response with 100 plus participants in Mumbai, 60 in Jaipur and over 100 in Delhi. We are very happy! We had great agents, who were interested in the destinations. There were people with good questions trying to understand the destinations,” he informed.

Maddh shared that over the last four years, Austria has seen a growth of over 100 per cent. “Last year, there were 192,000 plus arrivals from India market; there is huge potential because the average stay is 1.8 days at the moment,” he claimed.
