Ramee group diversifies into travel

ETW Staff - Mumbai

Setting sights on capturing a fair share of the growing outbound and inbound corporate travel market in India, the Ramee Group predominantly known for its hotels in India and Middle East, has set up a corporate travel company, Ramee Tours and Travels to cater to growing corporate business between India and the Middle East.

Revealing this new development exclusively to Express TravelWorld, Sudhanshu Singh, group general manager, Ramee Group of Hotels, said, "Hospitality has been our initial and key focus in the Indian market since our foray into the country. However, with the travel industry growing phenomenally in India over the past couple of years, there exists ample opportunity for companies looking at establishing themselves as a travel company."

"Business travellers account for 80 per cent of customers in our hotel business, the diversification from hotels to a travel company focussing on corporate travel is an extension to the hospitality service we already offer," expressed Singh. The group is riding on the growth of corporate travel market between India and Middle Eastern countries of Dubai, Baharain, Oman and Qatar, which incidentally is experiencing a unique growth rate of 20 per cent annually. "With a network of 25 hotels, which primarily caters to business travellers, we are confident that this venture will be successful and offer our customers a truly unique travel service, stated Singh."
