In a bid to increase its share of the Indian market, Dubai-based destination management company (DMC) Lama Tours will set up offices in Tier-II Indian cities. Initially, the company is planning to open offices at Ahmedabad and Pune by August 2012,
and is looking at cities like Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Amritsar and Jaipur for expanding operations and enhancing sales. Lama Tours currently has offices in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai. This information was shared by Kulwant Singh, Managing Director, Lama Tours at a road show held recently in Mumbai. “Our business from the Indian market increased by 34 per cent last year and we aim to clock at least 60-70 per cent growth this year by enhancing our network in Tier-II cities. Although our major business comes from the metros, the Tier-II cities in India have opened new avenues for tour operators,” Singh informed. In addition, to tap the burgeoning Weddings segment in India, Lama Tours is planning a separate Weddings Division. As per their plans, the company will set up a dedicated team for designing Indian wedding packages in each of its India offices. The DMC will also launch special summer packages titled ‘If you get less than this, you get it for free', across the Indian market within a month.
