Brightsun Travel marked its 40th anniversary with a Ruby Royale Night attended by airline, hotel and travel industry partners, reflecting on four decades of the company’s growth and its longstanding relationships across the sector.
The evening also offered a look at Brightsun’s plans for the years ahead, including continued investment in technology, its global supplier network and a broader travel offering.
Among the developments outlined was a planned global AI-powered website intended to bring Brightsun’s travel inventory and supplier network together within a single digital platform. The aim is to make it simpler for customers to search, plan and book travel while continuing to draw on the company’s travel expertise and service capabilities.
The platform forms part of Brightsun’s wider digital development as it continues to expand beyond its established flights business. The company is also strengthening its hotel and cruise portfolio and currently provides access to more than 1.6 million properties worldwide.
Commenting on the milestone, Deepak Nangla, Managing Director, Brightsun Travel India, said “Reaching 40 years is a significant achievement and a testament to the trust placed in us by our customers, suppliers and employees. While the travel industry has changed enormously since 1986, our commitment to service, innovation and long-term relationships remains unchanged.”
“Brightsun continues to be a family business with global ambitions. Over the coming years, we will expand into new markets, launch new technologies and provide our customers with greater choice, convenience and personalisation than ever before.”
Guests at the event also viewed a commemorative film highlighting Brightsun’s journey from its beginnings in Soho, London, to its position today as an international travel group serving leisure, corporate and trade customers worldwide across 6 global offices. The evening recognised the many airline, hotel and travel partners whose support has contributed to the company’s success over the past four decades.
As Brightsun looks ahead, its strategy remains centred on sustainable growth, technological innovation, deeper industry partnerships and delivering an increasingly seamless travel experience for customers around the world.
