Orient Tours UAE Highlights Growth At International Tourism Exhibition Arabian Travel Market 2019

Orient Tours UAE, the leading Destination Management Company and multi-awarded Tour Operator in the UAE is honing its agenda to ensure it continues to contribute substantially to UAE tourism. Today, the winner of World Travel Awards’ Leading Desert Safari Company in the UAE confirmed their participation at ATM 2019 as they recapitulated their growth, accolades, and successes for 2018.

Despite facing considerable competition from other popular destination management companies.  Orient Tours has differentiated itself as a unique company–with a wide-range of responsible, ECO, cultural and heritage attractions with unparalleled services. This led the company to pocket the distinguished recognition as Dubai’s Leading Destination Management Company. The achievement is a crucial point in Orient Tour’s history that legitimizes the company’s impressive entrepreneurial growth over the past couple of years.

“2018 was a productive year for us, not only professionally, but financially too,” said Shantanu Mehta, Executive Manager of Orient Tours. “Our revenues jumped 15% from the earlier year, and we expect this steady growth year-over-year as we endeavor to live up to our name as Dubai’s Leading Destination Management Company.”

Talking about the company plans, Shantanu said “With tourism as one of the swiftest growing industries, we’re thrilled at another opportunity to meet tourism professionals and promote the opportunities we have at the Arabian Travel Market 2019. We love learning more of industry offerings and trends.  Aside from that, we would like to put ourselves out there. And showcase the opportunities we have for UAE visitors and our new spectacular product offerings that guarantee unforgettable experiences, with guest comfort and safety.”

Shantanu also discussed the successful efforts of Orient Tours implementing outstanding global network and partnerships with leading attraction companies; and further highlighted their unrelenting efforts to capitalize on and meet UAE’s tourism objectives.

He said that the current efforts being implemented as part of the Orient Tours Strategy focuses on strengthening associations, introduce new exciting products, entering key new markets and appointing Sales representatives to support and drive the growth in 2019.

“We are exerting all our efforts to implement a strategy that focuses on strengthening relationships with trusted long-time partners, creating value additions to the product portfolio and entering key new markets. To that end, we have recently appointed Sales Representatives in the UK as well as the European markets of Scandinavia. Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Another all-weather key market being India, Orient Tours now has an addition of 2 experienced Sales Managers based in New Delhi covering North India and Mumbai to cater to demand from West India. We also recently welcomed in-house a Sales Manager to manage our business development activities in Poland and the Czech Republic. We soon hope to widen the scope of our engagement to Benelux countries, Latin America, and Australia.” Concluded Shantanu

At the beginning of this season, Orient Tours introduced four new excursions and six new off-road/safari expeditions to a select group of domestic partners after meticulous research, planning and testing. ATM will be the perfect platform for Orient Tours’ global launch to all partners worldwide.  The introduction of these new excursions and safari expeditions at the ATM will play to Orient Tours’ strengths as the region’s oldest and most experienced DMC, building upon their award-winning reliability, amazing product portfolio and bespoke service quality.

The company plans to ramp up its physical and social presence by being available at both, the Dubai Tourism booth and the Sharjah Tourism stand.
