CREATInG MEMORIES OFA LIFETIME
GroupOnHolidays promises a vacation to remember with hasslefree fixed departures to exciting destinations
With a desire to cater to a travel-savvy community and eliminate the hassle of planning, husband and wife nitin and Poonam Sharma duo established GroupOnHolidays in 2017. The Sharmas bring over 16 years of experience in the travel industry to give residents a chance to indulge in fun experiences at international destinations.
“We love what we do, and our strategy is simple and straightforward. We created a base where travellers can log on to www.GroupOnHolidays.com, view the available fixed departure holiday packages and book right away,” said nitin.
GroupOnHolidays exclusively focuses on two popular destinations that allow easy entry and visa issuance for UAE residents — Georgia and Azerbaijan. A typical package offers a three-night, four-day stay complete with both ways flight, accommodation at a four-star hotel in the city centre, daily buffet breakfast, airport transfers, complimentary Wi-Fi, and optional tours with a dedicated tour guide. Its website lists itineraries, giving holidaymakers a preview of the trip.
“Our rates are quite competitive and unmatched in the group segment. We guarantee that there are no hidden costs involved and assure travellers that they get what they see,” nitin added.
The organisation focuses on group travel, a niche segment where it accommodates up to 30 to 40 people at a time with fixed departures.
“We have catered to more than 3,000 people — from individuals and couples to families with children. We are also proud of the fact that 30 per cent of our travellers are repeat customers, and we continue to hear positive feedback about their travel experience,” he said.
To ensure that travellers are informed and wellconnected at any given time, it initiates a group chat on Whatsapp prior to trips.
“That is where we share updates about flights and other details. It gives travellers a platform to stay connected with each other and us during the trip, and share photos and videos post-trip,” said Poonam.
She shared that the organisation’s growth has been organic, as it receives new clients through wordof-mouth.
“Besides hearing that our packages give tourists ample time to explore their destinations, our guests discover new friendships within the group. To them, GroupOnHolidays feels like a family,” she added.
GroupOnHolidays are keen on creating memories that last a lifetime and now looks forward to expanding more options in the future with the convenience of visafree travel.
