Hilton Worldwide recently hosted the Hilton Worldwide 2015 India Showcase with representation from more than 90 hotels and resorts in the Hilton Worldwide portfolio located in Europe, Middle East and Asia Pacific.
The three-city, five-day event held across Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore drew more than 500 interested partners from the travel industry. Visitors interacted with team members representing hotels located in different parts of the world and gathered greater insight into the extensive range of offerings ideal not only for business and leisure stays, but also for conference and incentive groups as well as elaborate weddings and other social events. Leading the contingent from Hilton Worldwide were Dominic Sherry, Head of sales – APAC; Daniel Welk, Vice President, Operations – India; and Pariva Rustagi, Regional Director of Sales – India.
Commenting on the exceptional response Daniel Welk said, “Indian travellers are increasingly exploring and frequenting overseas locations for their business and leisure travel needs as well as for meetings, conferences and events, including grand and exotic weddings. This presents a phenomenal opportunity for us as the brands in the Hilton Worldwide portfolio cater to all segments from luxury, full-service to mid-market. I am personally delighted with this opportunity to meet our partners. The response we have received has been very encouraging and gratifying”.
Samir K. Avasthi, Director of Sales – International Sales Office, India, Hilton Worldwide, who organised the event, said, “Our portfolio of 12 brands and more than 4,350 hotels in 94 countries presents our guests and partners an exceptional range and the choice of the best locations across the globe.
