Discover Travel Academy’s 2nd Convocation Honours Future Travel Entrepreneurs
Chennai: Discover Travel Academy (DTA) successfully hosted its 2nd Convocation at Royal Radiance Hall, Galaxy A Food Square, T Nagar, Chennai, on Saturday, celebrating and honouring India’s future travel entrepreneurs.
The grand ceremony featured certificate and medal presentations, awards and special recognitions, keynote sessions, networking opportunities, DMC/vendor meetups, and leadership skills training, making it a comprehensive platform for aspiring professionals in the travel industry.
The event was led by Karthik Ramesh, Founder and Director of Triumph Holidays, who has mentored countless aspiring travel entrepreneurs through his leadership at DTA. With over 17 years of experience in the travel industry, Ramesh has cultivated deep expertise in the sector and continues to explore new avenues to empower the next generation.
Ramesh’s mission is clear: to inspire and empower travel professionals who can make a positive global impact. His academy has become one of the most sought-after institutions for those aspiring to build a career in the travel arena.
Until recently, there was no structured training methodology tailored to the travel agency business model. Recognizing this gap, Ramesh launched DTA’s “Become a Travel Entrepreneur” Mentorship Program, equipping individuals—even without prior industry experience—with the skills and confidence to succeed.
The program offers future-ready knowledge across key areas, including:
- Air Ticketing & Visa Processing
- Cruise Bookings & Travel Insurance
- Hotel Reservations & Itinerary Planning
- Vendor & Operations Management
- Strategic Sales & Crisis Management
- Travel Tools & GDS Systems
- Legal & Taxation Procedures
Beyond technical training, DTA also focuses on entrepreneurial skills, with sessions on:
- Making content viral
- Lead generation through digital marketing
- Finance management for entrepreneurs
With a goal to create 100,000 successful travel entrepreneurs by 2035, Discover Travel Academy positions itself not just as a training institute but as a movement to build a thriving global ecosystem of empowered travel professionals.
Through a blend of virtual and hands-on training, DTA ensures participants master the trade and transform their dreams into thriving businesses. Driven by passion, Ramesh continues to instill practical knowledge, strong work ethic, and a culture of continuous learning, preparing entrepreneurs to thrive in a competitive industry.
By sharing his experiences and expertise, Ramesh aims to cultivate a community of passionate, knowledgeable, and forward-thinking individuals who will shape the future of the travel industry and make a lasting positive impact worldwide.
