Overview

Empowering India's outbound travel community online

OTOAI (Outbound Tour Operators Association of India) is one of India's youngest and most dynamic travel associations — a national, non-profit body of verified outbound tour operators and travel agents working to grow international tourism from India.

Shine Infosoft partnered with OTOAI to design, develop, and launch the official association website — unveiled at the prestigious OTOAI Convention in Moscow. The platform unites members, stakeholders, and tourism boards through a modern digital experience for membership, events, news, and resources.

The Challenge

OTOAI needed a credible national digital presence to connect outbound travel professionals, promote membership growth, and advocate for the industry — without relying on fragmented channels or outdated web experiences.

No unified digital hub

Association information, member benefits, and industry updates were scattered — limiting reach and trust among outbound operators.

Manual member onboarding

Growing toward an 800+ verified member base required a streamlined join-and-login journey for tour operators across India.

Events & news visibility

Regional chapters and national initiatives needed a central place to publish events, announcements, and advocacy updates.

Brand credibility at launch

The website had to debut on an international stage at the OTOAI Convention — polished, performant, and representative of a national association.
