The Gypsy Travel Festival

In 2017 Mumbai played host to India’s only Curated, Business to Consumer Travel event in the form of the Gypsy Travel Festival. The festival hosted by The Gypsy Travel Network was gathering of the biggest destination experts, brand and opinion leaders in the experiential travel sector. It was also one the only event of its kind where potential travelers could interact directly with the industry specialists to plan, customize and even book holidays, all on one platform. This year they custodians of the property are back again with the second edition, The Gypsy Travel Festival 2018!!

Gypsy Travel Festival 2018 #TGTF2018 promises to witness big-ticket partners like Luxury Escapes and participation from names like GlobusCosmos (International luxury travel & tour operators), Rare India, Blueberry Trails, Toe-Hold Photography, Active Holiday Company, Jack and Hill Adventures, Luxetrot, Countryside Adventures amongst others. Eager travelers will get a chance to interact directly with the destination experts to plan, customise and even book holidays on one platform. A plethora of industry experts will give event attendees the first-hand information on off-beat and new destinations, travel dynamics, how to economize your holiday, fast-tracking your visa processes, and a lot more. 

When asked what led them to the idea of #TGTF2018, Sumit Lulla, said, “In India, there is a clear disconnect between the traveler and the destination due to the convoluted flow of information that gets lost amongst different intermediaries. This disconnect affects the perception of any potential traveler in terms of accessibility, desirability and the notability value of a destination. The #TGTF2018 hopes to take the first steps necessary towards commercially bringing about change in how Indians perceive travel.”

Nelson Noronha, said, “The unique participants and businesses represented at the Gypsy Travel Festival 2018 all share the same vision and are top industry experts who are constantly innovating and trying to bring about the new change in Indian travel habits. Despite the limitations of the Indian passport, we have traveled the length and breadth of the planet and wanted other fellow Indian travel enthusiasts to be able to experience the same. We want #GTF2018 to springboard a new generation of travelers into having unique personal travel experiences themselves.”

The event is set to take place on February, 24th and 25th at The High Street Phoenix, Lower Parel, Mumbai.
