In a strategic move to strengthen its presence in the growing India outbound market, Experience Kissimmee, represented locally by East-West Marketing, has partnered with Holiday Tribe, a leading experiential travel company. The collaboration aims to engage over one million high-intent travellers and stimulate early demand for the 2026 travel season.
The partnership was showcased as part of Experience Kissimmee’s global influencer familiarization (FAM) program, held from February 16–22, 2026. The initiative brought together 13 content creators from key international markets, with India participating for the first time—a reflection of the destination’s confidence in the potential of Indian outbound tourism. Representing India was outbound travel influencer Siddhartha Joshi, with Holiday Tribe facilitating content distribution, market alignment, and travel packages tailored to Indian audiences.
During the program, participants experienced Kissimmee’s standout offering: luxury vacation homes featuring multi-bedroom layouts, private pools, and spacious living areas designed for multi-generational families. The itinerary included a stay at a Top-Tier Reunion vacation home within the Reunion community, a guided exploration of the picturesque town of Celebration via Celebration Bike Rentals, an evening at Cirque du Soleil: Drawn to Life, a visit to the Old Town Entertainment District, and a day at Universal Epic Universe. These experiences underscored Kissimmee’s appeal as a premium base for theme park-centric vacations.
“India is a strategically important growth market for us,” said Juliana Leveroni, Senior Director of Communications at Experience Kissimmee. “By combining compelling destination storytelling with a trusted distribution partner, we ensure that awareness translates into measurable business outcomes. This India-focused activation is designed to capture early demand and enhance engagement with trade partners ahead of the peak booking period.”
Anshu Sharma, Founder of Holiday Tribe, emphasized the growing sophistication of Indian travellers: “We are constantly seeking to introduce Indian travellers to destinations that offer more than the conventional. Kissimmee’s mix of entertainment, natural attractions, and family-friendly experiences makes it an ideal match for the evolving preferences of Indian tourists. Through our collaboration with Experience Kissimmee, we are excited to present a destination that combines world-class attractions with authentic local experiences, creating immersive, experience-led holidays.”
With Indian travellers increasingly seeking longer stays and higher-value bookings in the U.S., this integrated approach—leveraging influencer visibility alongside online travel agency (OTA) distribution—demonstrates Experience Kissimmee’s performance-driven strategy to expand its reach in the Indian market.
