As part of this expansion, IRIS Reps will exclusively represent all its brands under its umbrella, including these two new additions, offering unparalleled travel experiences and services to Indian travellers. The firm’s approach is focused on curating a unique selection of products that are tailored to meet the evolving needs of the Indian market.
Alefiya Singh, Founder, IRIS Reps, shares her excitement about these new associations, “We are delighted to introduce The Rickshaw Travel Group to our portfolio. Their expertise in creating bespoke travel experiences focusing on across South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda is unmatched, and we are excited to bring these exceptional safari and cultural journeys to Indian travellers. Their tailored itineraries and personalised services offer the ultimate African adventure, from safaris to mountain treks and beach tours. We believe they are a perfect fit for Indian travellers looking for unique and enriching travel experiences.”
She continues, “As for the Ninety-Six Hotel Collection, we are equally excited. This Mauritius-based collection embodies the perfect blend of cultural heritage and modern luxury. From the elegant 5-star Labourdonnais Waterfront Hotel to the charming 4-star hotels: the dynamic and artistic Hennessy Park Hotel, the contemporary Le Suffren Hotel & Marina and the unique The Address Boutique Hotel & Residences, this collection offers a diverse range of options for both business and leisure travellers. We are confident that Indian travellers will fall in love with the charm, sophistication, and cultural richness these hotels provide.”

Looking ahead to major upcoming travel events such as OTM and SATTE, Alefiya outlines her strategy to make a strong market impact: “We aim to create a buzz around these incredible new additions by offering targeted promotions and engaging with both trade partners and travel agents. Our goal is to leverage these events to create direct connections with Indian travel professionals and highlight the personalised, high-quality offerings from both brands. It is all about ensuring that our clients are equipped with the tools they need to sell these exceptional products to the discerning Indian traveller.”
