All Meetings & Events business units of the Le Passage to India will move under the global Pacific World brand. In parallel, Pacific World announced the extension of its partnership in China with TUI China.
From 1 April 2016, the relationship with LPTI and the foothold in India has been further strengthened. The incoming incentive business brand “Mintcentive” and the outgoing business brand “TUI- Meetings & Incentives” have been merged to form one entity “Pacific World India”. The single entity under the Pacific World brand will be headed by Naveen Rizvi, Executive Director Pacific World India. Le Passage to India and Pacific World are both part of Destination Services business unit of Hotelbeds Group.
Selina Chavry, Global Managing Director Pacific World, commented, “India is one of the world’s largest business events market, China as well. Pacific World is now taking a leader’s position in those markets for the future 5-10 years. Pacific World and LPTI clients will benefit from a one-stop shop offering for their meetings, events, incentives, congresses whether domestic, outbound and inbound.”
Herve Joseph-Antoine, Pacific World Chairman, added, “In India, similarly to China and South East Asia, business practices have dramatically changed and require compliance to business ethics, anti-corruption, and financial transparency.”
Pacific World in India is now the only company to offer those guarantees of compliance, global service and creativity standards, as well the unique coverage of the Indian territory with eight branch offices throughout the country beyond Delhi and Mumbai.
Mario Habig, Managing Director of Le Passage said, “This is a unique opportunity for LPTI and Pacific World to take the number one position in the Indian Meetings & Events market, domestic, outbound, inbound.”
