With Indian outbound travel continuing to diversify across destinations and formats, B2B engagement remains critical for sustained growth. OA Globe DMC’s recently concluded Delhi roadshow brought together global DMCs and hospitality partners, reinforcing the capital’s role as a key source market for international leisure, MICE, and group travel.
OA Globe DMC concluded its Delhi roadshow in February 2026, bringing together over 30 destination management companies and more than 40 overseas tourism boards, hotels, and resorts to engage with the Indian travel trade. The two-day programme followed immediately after OTM 2026, with the objective of sustaining post-event momentum and deepening trade interactions in the Delhi NCR market.
Held in New Delhi, the roadshow was positioned as a focused B2B platform enabling Indian travel agents and tour operators to connect directly with OA Globe DMC’s global partner network. The event included a full-day roadshow followed by a networking cocktail evening, facilitating business discussions across leisure, group, MICE, weddings, and high-end travel segments.
Speaking at the event, Rahim Aslam, Visionary Founder, OA Globe DMC, said, “After a successful OTM, the last three days were excellent. We felt the momentum should continue, so we organised this roadshow immediately with all our partners. We brought them to Delhi because it is a very important market in India, including the surrounding regions.”
Strengthening access to a global DMC network
Aslam highlighted that the roadshow featured participation from more than 30 DMCs operating across 98 destinations, along with hotels, resorts, sightseeing providers, and tourism partners. He noted that the objective was to create a one-stop interaction point for the Indian trade.
“Trust is the first factor,” Aslam said, while explaining OA Globe DMC’s value proposition. “We are a pure global B2B DMC and a one-stop shop. Whether it is FITs, leisure, group series, high-end travel, MICE, or weddings, our offices are equipped to handle DMC operations from A to Z.”
Demand trends and destination outlook
Sharing insights on market trends, Aslam said he expects most DMC partners to see at least a 20 per cent increase in business during the year. While acknowledging a temporary slowdown in parts of the Middle East due to geopolitical factors, he expressed confidence in recovery.
“Destinations like Georgia are showing strong growth for MICE, and Batu is getting back on track after last year,” he said, adding that overall sentiment for the year remains positive.
On evolving traveller preferences, Aslam observed that Indian travellers are increasingly prioritising security over ultra-luxury. “They want to go to places with zero trouble and come back happy with good memories, whether it is FITs, group travel, or MICE,” he said.
Encouraging trade partners to leverage the platform, Aslam said, “Take full advantage of 30 DMCs operating 98 destinations. All of them are inside this hall to serve you, help you make more profits, and ensure your clients come back happy.”
The Delhi roadshow marked OA Globe DMC’s continued focus on direct trade engagement to support Indian outbound growth across global markets.
