The Cocoon Collection Maldives, led by Mrs. Simmi Pai and Mr. Satyesh Pai, recently collaborated with Mr. Amit Sivaraman, the Head of Sales at DMC Maldives, to host an exclusive networking event for partners in Kochi, Kerala. The event aimed to promote resorts under the Cocoon Collection umbrella, including JOY, Cocoon Maldives, and YOU & ME. Several partners from Kochi and nearby cities, such as Calicut, Trivandrum, and Malappuram, attended this prestigious event.
What stood out to the agents were the offerings tailored specifically for the Indian market, including diverse dining options, premium liquor, as well as Indian, vegetarian, and Jain food selections. The Cocoon Collection demonstrated exceptional flexibility in addressing the needs of Indian agents and consumers, which was greatly appreciated. Agents were particularly impressed with the personalized approach extended by both the Cocoon Collection and DMC Maldives.
The agents were particularly struck by the variety and unique offerings across the three resorts within the Cocoon Collection. For example, YOU & ME is an adults-only resort, offering a serene and exclusive atmosphere, while Cocoon and JOY cater to both couples and families, providing a broader range of experiences to suit various guest preferences.
The resorts’ exceptional USPs also captured the attention of the agents. YOU & ME Maldives boasts the H2O Underwater Dining, a Michelin-star experience, offering guests a truly unique dining experience. Cocoon and YOU & ME feature the Slide Villas, adding an element of excitement and novelty. JOY and Cocoon offer family-friendly activities, making them ideal for guests traveling with children. Additionally, JOY stands out with its paddle tennis facilities, while all the resorts offer various evening entertainment events to keep guests engaged.
What resonated most with the agents was the balance of offerings at each resort, catering to diverse guest preferences. Whether guests are seeking active experiences, entertainment, or peaceful, tranquil beach escapes, there is truly something for everyone.
One of the event’s highlights was the product update on the Cocoon Collection, along with the opportunity for one-on-one interactions with the Cocoon Collection team. The partners particularly connected with the brand because the owners, originally travel agents turned hoteliers, possess a deep understanding of the travel agent business model.
The agents in Kerala expressed that the level of attention to detail from DMC Maldives and the Cocoon Collection was truly remarkable. During the event, a special offer was unveiled for bookings in November and December, available at exclusive rates through DMC Maldives. This promotion was well received by the agents, further emphasizing the commitment of both brands to providing value and tailored offerings to the Indian market.
