”Our partnerships are critical in achieving our mission to boost tourism in the Middle East. They underline our commitment to showcase the region’s incredible offerings and foster trust and confidence among travellers worldwide. Through the partnerships, TravClan, aims to increase the awareness amongst the travel professionals regarding the vast choice of on-ground travel services and unique experiences these destinations have to offer,” says Chirag Agrawal, Co-founder of TravClan.
The statement says that these collaborations, which are anticipated to bring over 0.1 million new customers to the Middle East, might result in a 20 pc increase in revenue over the course of the next three years for the more than 15,000 travel agencies who will now have the opportunity to learn more about the region’s products.
One such successful collaboration has been with the Saudi Tourism Authority (STA), resulting in a series of joint marketing activities promoting Saudi Arabia. These campaigns, centred around the FIFA World Cup and the IPL, significantly boosted awareness among the travel agent community and travellers, resulting in a surge in traffic with over 3000 passengers choosing Saudi Arabia as their preferred destination.
Over 1000 travel industry professionals have benefited from networking opportunities and knowledge sharing via events organised by TravClan in recent partnership with tourism boards. These programmes fit well with TravClan’s larger goal of empowering SMBs around the world in the travel industry to promote the expansion and success of their companies, says the statement.

“Saudi is a new, unique leisure destination that is untapped and unexplored. As the true home of Arabia, Saudi offers rich cultural and heritage sites, pristine nature and diverse landscapes, ideal for the curious, adventurous Indian traveller. Our partnership with TravClan is critical to unlock opportunities for growth and position Saudi as a must-visit destination,” says Alhasan Aldabbagh, President – APAC Markets, Saudi Tourism Authority.
The statement adds that joint marketing campaigns with Dubai and Abu Dhabi also yielded remarkable results, with a surge in traffic of over 20,000 passengers in the past 4 months. This success can be attributed to TravClan’s ability to leverage technology to offer superior travel services at affordable prices, coupled with the commitment shown by the Dubai and Abu Dhabi government to create unforgettable experiences for every traveller.
