Focus on experiential tourism: OWH
The Old World Hospitality (OWH) Group remains committed to its travel trade partners, who supply substantial number of guests to its properties and MICE business to its convention facilities.
The Old World Hospitality (OWH) Group, which has interest in the hospitality space with accommodation options available at Hotel Broadway (26 rooms), The Manor (15-room boutique hotel) and Habitat World (58 rooms) and also has a growing stature in the MICE business with state-of-the-art convention facilities at the Indian Habitat Centre and Epicenter, is focussed on experiential tourism.
“The travel trade is very important partner. We receive over 20 per cent bookings for our Manor property and over 35 percent business for Hotel Broadway through our travel partners. Moreover,
we get substantial MICE business for our convention facilities through our travel partners,”
Janesh Khanna, Vice President– Sales, Old World Hospitality.
“The MICE segment has evolved in a big manner with rapid increase in demand for quality space for corporate, social and exhibition events. Like the Habitat World, we had witnessed our Epicentre, which has 40000 sq. ft exhibition hall– became a preferred MICE venue having hosted major property, lifestyle, education, and telecom shows since its inception in 2008,” added Khanna.
Going forward, the group will continue to focus on experiential tourism and even recommend it to their travel trade, who now very well realise the growing demand for experiential travel.
“We firmly believe that India, as a destination, has immense experiential tourism potential. In fact, we recommend that our travel trade partners should focus on promoting experiential tourism and the travel trade partners should also make use of our recently started premium outdoor catering services, to make their guests experience the authentic Indian and global cuisines created by our experienced and talented team of chefs and managers,” added Khanna.
