ELIVAAS and Alivaa Hotels & Resorts Announce Strategic Sales Alliance to Expand Market Reach

New Delhi, 20266–Luxury villa hospitality platform ELIVAAS and hospitality group Alivaa Hotels & Resorts have entered into a strategic sales and marketing alliance aimed at strengthening distribution networks and expanding market access across India’s leisure and corporate travel segments.

The collaboration brings together two hospitality brands with complementary portfolios and market strengths. Under the agreement, both companies will extend sales, marketing and representation support for each other’s hospitality assets across India thereby enabling greater visibility across all channels and partners.

ELIVAAS has been expanding its footprint across India’s premium leisure destinations through its brands ELIVAAS and Alaya Stays, offering curated private villas and experiential stays designed for group travel, celebrations and destination getaways. Alivaa Hotels & Resorts operates a portfolio of mid to upscale hotels under its brands Alivaa, The Hoften and Xenious, serving both leisure and business travel segments across multiple destinations.

The partnership is designed to leverage the complementary strengths of both organisations, combining ELIVAAS’s growing presence in the luxury villa hospitality segment with Alivaa Hotels & Resorts’ established footprint in the hotel sector while allowing both brands to retain their independent identities and operational frameworks.

Commenting on the development, Ritwik Khare, Founder and CEO of ELIVAAS, said, “As travel demand becomes more diverse across leisure, corporate and experiential segments, distribution partnerships are becoming increasingly important for hospitality brands. This alliance allows both organisations to leverage complementary strengths in sales outreach and market access, while continuing to operate and grow our respective portfolios independently.”

Mr. Vikramjit Singh, Founder of Alivaa Hotels & Resorts, commented on the partnership, stating, “This alliance marks a significant milestone for Alivaa and ELIVAAS. By combining our portfolios and expertise with ELIVAAS, we are confident that we can achieve deeper penetration and a greater competitive advantage to both the brands.”

Wagg n Dine Launches Cloud Kitchen for Pets in Chennai

Freshly cooked human grade meals for dogs

Chennai, 2026: Wagg n Dine, a cloud kitchen focused on preparing fresh, human-grade meals for pets, was launched in Chennai at Taj Connemara. The brand offers freshly cooked, human-grade meals for dogs, prepared using natural ingredients and delivered to customers’ doorsteps as an alternative to conventional processed pet food.

Wagg n Dine operates as a cloud kitchen for pets, preparing meals daily in a dedicated human-grade kitchen using fresh chicken, clean RO water and carefully sourced ingredients. The service focuses on delivering fresh, ready-to-serve meals for dogs directly to pet owners, ensuring convenience along with quality.

Speaking at the launch, Manivannan, Founder of Wagg n Dine, said, “India’s pet care landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift, from just ‘feeding pets’ to ‘nourishing family members’. With the pet food market projected to grow at over 6–8% annually and premium segments expanding upwards of 20%, we are seeing a clear consumer pivot towards fresh, human-grade nutrition. At Wagg N Dine, we believe the next wave of growth will be led by cloud kitchens for pets, bringing convenience, customization, and clean-label meals to urban pet parents in cities like Chennai, where the demand for quality pet nutrition is rising rapidly.”

The idea for Wagg n Dine was born from a simple but personal realisation. While we are mindful about eating fresh, wholesome food ourselves, we often feed our pets processed meals every single day without questioning it. This contrast led the founders to rethink everyday pet food, resulting in Wagg n Dine, a cloud kitchen built to offer fresh, human-grade meals made with the same care and quality people expect for themselves.

Culinary personality, Padma Shri awardee, Chef Damu, who also holds the Guiness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, addressed the gathering and said, “We are careful about what we eat every day, but we often overlook what we feed our pets. Wagg n Dine was started to address that gap by offering fresh, human-grade meals made with real ingredients. It is about bringing the same level of care to pet food that we expect for ourselves.”

Before the public launch, the meals had been introduced among a test group of pet owners as part of an initial trial. The company said the response from both dogs and their owners was positive, helping refine the recipes and preparation process.

These new properties are scheduled to open between 2027 and 2030, as integral elements of Sun Group’s game-changing developments.

The signing ceremony was attended by key leaders from both companies, including Anthony Capuano, President and CEO of Marriott International, Rajeev Menon, President for Asia Pacific Excluding China (APEC), Marriott International, and Dang Minh Truong, Chaiman of the Board of Directors, from Sun Group.

“Vietnam is one of the world’s most dynamic markets for travel and tourism, so we are thrilled to be able to announce these 10 new hotels and resorts in collaboration with Sun Group,” said Rajeev Menon, President, APEC, Marriott International. “Marriott’s portfolio in Vietnam has doubled since 2022, as we cater to record numbers of international travelers and rising demand from domestic guests seeking world-class accommodation. Our continued collaboration with Sun Group, one of the country’s most visionary developers with a proven track record of creating destination-defining projects, reinforces our commitment to the long-term future of Vietnam – including Phu Quoc, which is rapidly emerging as one of Asia’s most dynamic tourism destinations, with unsurpassed facilities for leisure, business and global events.’’

Mr. Dang Minh Truong, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Sun Group, shared: “We are thrilled to announce this landmark agreement with Marriott International, as we continue with our mission to transform Vietnam into a global leader for travel, tourism, hospitality and MICE. This agreement represents the strategic alignment of two leading companies to elevate the scale, structure and international positioning of destination development in Vietnam. By integrating global brands into a master-planned ecosystem of entertainment, infrastructure and large-scale venues, we are reinforcing Phu Quoc’s ability to host world-class events and attract travelers from diverse international markets. Phu Quoc’s hosting of APEC 2027 will be an era-defining moment, positioning the island on a global stage and creating lasting benefits for the entire region.”

At Ruby Beach in southern Phu Quoc, Marriott is slated to launch five new hotels under five distinct brands – W Hotels, Marriott Hotels, Westin Hotels & Resorts, Le Méridien, and Courtyard by Marriott within an 88.4-hectare mixed-use development which is being developed by Sun Group for APEC 2027. A short cable car ride away in the island paradise of Hon Thom – Moxy Hotels and Fairfield by Marriott will command a prime beachside setting.

Phu Quoc, Vietnam's "Pearl Island,” has emerged as one of Asia’s most compelling tourism destinations with many world-class attractions developed by Sun Group. Marriott’s portfolio of hotels are set to serve as hospitality anchors within a synchronized destination mode with direct access to iconic assets such as the world’s longest three-wire cable car to Hon Thom Island, large-scale theme and water parks, internationally acclaimed multimedia shows, the Kiss Bridge and Sunset Town — where fireworks illuminate the sky every night, 365 days a year.

The addition of these seven new hotels and resorts, seamlessly woven into Sun Group's prestigious projects, is expected to enhance the destination’s status as an international hub for tourism, hospitality, leisure and MICE. The recent launch of Sun Group’s Sun Phu Quoc Airways has also added to the island’s international connectivity.

On Vietnam’s southeast coast, just a short drive from Ho Chi Minh City, the impressive new Vung Tau Blanca City development is planned to showcase three all-new properties under the Marriott Hotels, Moxy Hotels, and Four Points by Sheraton brands. With fast accessibility from the newly opened Long Thanh International Airport, this is set to become a prime beachfront destination for domestic and international travelers alike.

These 10 new properties will complement Marriott’s existing portfolio of 32 properties currently operating across Vietnam, spanning 11 of the group’s extraordinary brands, with more than 50 properties in the development pipeline.

Radisson crosses 100 hotels in Africa, scales footprint with 2,500+ room signings

Milestone underscores growth momentum with new signings, conversions, and market entries.

The Radisson brand is seeing the fastest growth, supported by conversions and a strong pipeline translating into openings. Over the past 12 months, the Group has signed more than 15 hotels and around 2,500 rooms, including entries into the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe. Radisson Hotel Group is also attending FHS Africa in Nairobi, underscoring its focus on expansion and partnerships across the continent.

Brand performance and growth markets

Over the past five years, Radisson and Radisson Blu have been among the most signed brands in Africa, with a strong share of openings. In the last 12 months, the Group signed over 2,500 rooms and entered new markets, with focus on Morocco, South Africa, and Nigeria.

Leadership perspective

Ramsay Rankoussi, Regional Chief Development Officer, Radisson Hotel Group, commented: “We’ve crossed the 100-hotel mark in Africa by staying true to our plan, focusing on where we can lead, moving fast on quality conversions, and partnering with owners who share our ambition. The next phase is about depth in Morocco and Nigeria, a smarter footprint in South Africa, and a stronger resort offering that matches where travelers want to go. Our pipeline is built to open, not just to announce. That is why our conversion share is high, our time to market is short, and our brands are gaining ground in the cities and resort destinations that matter most.”

Focus shifts to key cities and leisure corridors across Africa

Nigeria shows the model’s resilience, with 13 hotels in operation and pipeline, while Abuja has three projects totaling 458 keys. South Africa’s strategy focuses on Cape Town, expansion into cities like Durban and Pretoria, and leisure corridors such as Kruger National Park, Sun City, and the Garden Route, alongside planned entry into Zanzibar and opportunities across Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia.

Conversion strategy

Conversions remain a core lever for scale and speed. In the last five years, more than 15 hotels, equal to almost 3,000 rooms, joined the portfolio through conversion. This helped the Group lead openings across the continent while keeping brand standards high and owners in mind.

EHL Achieves B Corp Certification, Accelerating its Commitments to Sustainable and Human-Centric Hospitality

Lausanne, Switzerland, April 2026: EHL Hospitality Business School is proud to announce that it has officially achieved B Corp Certification. Beyond the certification itself, EHL’s ambition is to further strengthen its commitment to sustainability, join a global movement driving positive change, and inspire a shift in mindset among its students, future leaders and, within the industry at large. This certification represents a significant milestone, yet EHL sees it not as an end point, but as the starting point of a long-term, continuous improvement journey aligned with B Lab’s evolving social and environmental standards and EHL’s stakeholders expectations.

With a verified B Impact Score of 98.5, EHL exceeds the minimum requirement of 80 points under B Lab’s current standards, which rate organizations on a scale of up to 200. EHL now joins a global movement of more than 10,300 B Corp-certified companies worldwide, representing over one million employees, and becomes one of 143 B Corps in Switzerland. Although B Corp certification is expanding across many sectors, only about ten comparable higher education institutions worldwide — and just one in Switzerland — have completed this rigorous process, making EHL one of the early adopters in the academic field.

B Corp Certification evaluates an organization holistically, examining governance, social and environmental practices, and transparency across all entities through 200 elements. In this process, EHL met B Lab’s legal requirement to embed stakeholder governance into its governing documents , ensuring that decisions consider students, employees, communities, suppliers, and the environment, not just shareholders. The assessment also includes the review of potential negative impacts through disclosure, background checks and case reviews, which EHL completed transparently.

“As THE global reference in hospitality management education, EHL has always placed people at the center of its mission,” said Markus Venzin, CEO of EHL. “Preparing the next generation of leaders means equipping them to face tomorrow’s environmental and social challenges with responsibility while creating lasting value. We CAN ONLY credibly teach what we implement ourselves. We must walk the talk.”

EHL sees its role as extending beyond its own campus . As a leading institution in a sector built on human interaction and service culture, EHL aims to inspire the broader hospitality and service industries to deepen their commitment to sustainability. The school intends to actively contribute to the B Corp community by sharing not only its best practices but also its challenges, recognizing that progress requires transparency, humility, and collective learning.

Like all certified companies, EHL will be required to undergo the recertification every three years under B Lab’s future updated and more stringent standards, which will do away with the current point-scoring framework, to maintain its B Corp status. This process will demand ongoing adaptation, measurable progress, and a commitment to continuous improvement across environmental, social, and governance dimensions. « A certification only matters if it changes how we think, act and improve,” Markus Venzin highlights.

The Studs Sports Bar & Grill Expands to Sahakarnagar

The Studs – a social bar built for daily dining, curated drinks and the shared energy of sports.

Bangalore, 2026 – Following the continued success of its high-energy outlet at Embassy Tech Village and JP Nagar, The Studs Sports Bar & Grill expands further in Bangalore with the launch of its next flagship in Sahakarnagar — an evolved, neighbourhood-first format tailored for North Bangalore’s growing residential and corporate community. The doors officially open to the public from 7th March onwards.

The Sahakarnagar outlet marks a strategic upgrade in the brands' city journey, building on the loyalty developed at its earlier JP Nagar presence, while introducing a refined, everyday social bar experience designed for habit-driven dining and weekday culture.

Spread across 5,000 sq. ft. with a 130-seater layout, the outlet is positioned as an ideal neighbourhood daily bar — a place to stress bust after work, host casual corporate evenings, gather with family, or unwind over great food and drinks without crossing the city.

With 10 beers on tap, including multiple Craft beers, the space offers one of the stronger tap programs in North Bangalore, complemented by curated cocktails and a menu engineered for repeat visits.

“The momentum we have seen at Embassy Tech Village reaffirmed that people are looking for immersive yet comfortable social spaces,” said Miten Shah, Co-Founder. “With Sahakarnagar, we have taken that learning and evolved it further. This is not positioned as just a match destination — it’s designed to become part of the neighbourhood’s everyday rhythm.”

Abhilash Menon, Co-Founder, added, “Sahakarnagar allowed us to upgrade the format. While live sport remains part of our DNA, this outlet balances that energy with warmth and familiarity. It’s an everyday bar for corporates around the area and a high-energy social sports club for residents — a space that feels just as natural on a Tuesday evening as it does during a tournament final.”

Designed for the Neighbourhood

Unlike traditional sports bars positioned purely around big-match screenings, the Sahakarnagar outlet introduces a balanced social environment. Premium audio-visual integration ensures immersive viewing without disturbing the dining experience.

The objective is simple: to become the default neighbourhood choice within a 3–4 km radius — a consistent, high-energy yet comfortable social space for residents and nearby corporates.

The menu is crafted for everyday dining, featuring contemporary global plates and modern Indian favourites designed for sharing — from Togarashi Lotus and Chilly Plum Babycorn to Truffle Mushroom Potli and Kalmi Paneer Tikka. Larger plates such as Tartufo Mushroom Pasta, Fiery Asian Sizzler, Chettinad Pepper Paneer, Spicy Cilantro Chicken Pizza, The Studs Smash Burger, and Slow-cooked Ceylon Lamb Curry add heartiness, while desserts like Rasmalai Panna Cotta and Dark Matter offer a memorable finish. With interactive gaming elements, curated music programming, and comfortable seating designed for extended sittings, the outlet blends vibrant sports culture with neighbourhood familiarity.

Roasted to a medium dark profile, the blend adapts beautifully to strong black brews, espresso-based classics and creamy milk beverages. The coffee menu features timeless favourites such as House Classics (OG Cold Coffee, Cappuccino, Turkish latte, Honey & cinnamon latte alongside signature creations including Aamchi Kokum Brew, Gajak Latte, Esprangi, Cascara san, Kaapi Nariyal, Madras Cold Fashioned,  Baaghini Blend Signature Filter Coffee, Iced Coffee, Cold Brew (in which takes 16 hours to steep) and 3 single estate Pour overs to choose from.

The Meemee’s Flavours Filling Up Everyone’s Carts

 If you’ve ordered from Meemee’s recently, you already know one thing is never enough! Most people start with the Toasties. Soft cookies, thick layers of ice cream, and just the right amount of mess. They’re quick, easy, and somehow gone in minutes. Then come the Tubsters, and that’s usually where all plans of “keeping it light” fall apart. One spoon in, and you’re already digging through layers of cream, crunch, and sauce, trying to get the perfect bite every single time.

The Roleys sit somewhere in between. Small, rolled and easy to keep reaching for, especially when you don’t want to commit to a full tub but still want something fun on the side.What’s really driving repeat orders, though, are the flavours. People are clearly leaning into the richer side, Brown Butter Almond has been a strong favourite with its nutty, slightly toasted flavour that feels indulgent without being too heavy. Coffee-based options are right up there too, especially the Vietnamese Iced Coffee Ice Cream Tub, which brings that bold, slightly intense kick that works any time of day. And then there’s the Timeless Tiramisu, a classic that people keep going back to when they want something familiar but still loaded with flavour.

Across formats and flavours, the pattern that remains the same is that people don’t stick to just one. A toastie to start, a tub to share (or not), maybe something extra just because it looks too good to skip. It’s this mix of choice and comfort that’s making Meemee’s a regular in people’s orders right now. Not saved for occasions, not overthought, just something you know will hit every time.

Because at this point, it’s less about having ice cream and more about deciding how much of it you want.

Mumbai, March 2026: Mauritius-based DMC Travel Lounge Leisure & Tours Ltd recently partnered with Red Dot Representations to host an insightful webinar titled “Break the Stereotypes Around Mauritius”. Given the potential Mauritius holds in the upcoming holiday season, the session saw a strong participation from across the travel trade fraternity in India. The webinar was held to shift Mauritius’ position from being a honeymoon destination to appealing to diverse traveller profiles from across the world.

The webinar underscored the assorted travel attractions, MICE infrastructure, and hospitality products across Mauritius as a destination that suits a wide spectrum of travellers, including families, individual travellers seeking luxury services, adventurers and MICE groups. The webinar attendees were presented with a virtual tour through the island destination’s lesser-known experiences like cultural attractions, nature trails, and day tours that are more than visits to the pristine beaches.

The session’s highlight was informing the attending travel partners about better packages and showcasing Mauritius across segments, including destination weddings, adventure fanatics, and corporate travellers. Keeping the webinar interactive, attendees sought key insights by having their queries answered, with a view to better personalising Mauritius's pitch to their clients.

Speaking about the webinar, Leena Jhugroo, Managing Director, Travel Lounge Leisure & Tours Ltd, and Prabhakar Kamat, Business Head, Red Dot Representations, jointly said, “The webinar gave us an opportune platform to showcase Mauritius as a destination with immense potential to attract travellers of varying segments. Given the global traveller profile growing exponentially across categories, presenting depth, diversity, and authenticity remains central to every travel destination, and Mauritius holds the potential to deliver it on all fronts when positioned mindfully.”

Initiatives like these informative webinars by Travel Lounge and Red Dot Representations will help inform the travel fraternity with new viewpoints and appropriate facts, empowering them to meet the evolving demands of modern travellers.
