Group travel is evolving, and Karisma Hotels & Resorts is stepping up to meet changing demands with the launch of W.I.S.E. – Weddings, Incentives, Social, Entertainment. This new initiative, designed to simplify group bookings and enhance rewards, arrives when industry data indicates a surge in multi-day, group travel bookings for 2025.
The recently released WeTravel Travel Trends Report underscores the increasing popularity of customized and niche group travel experiences. According to the report, group travel is growing at an unprecedented rate, with operators catering more to solo-exclusive group tours (18% of operators now offer these), community-driven travel, and highly tailored itineraries.
Karisma’s W.I.S.E. program aligns with these trends by offering personalized experiences and automatic rewards that grow with booking volume.
“At Karisma Hotels & Resorts, we’re committed to making group bookings effortless,” said Alejandro Perez, Sr. Director of Groups and Weddings, in a press statement. “Through W.I.S.E., we’ve streamlined the process to ensure a seamless experience for meeting planners and travel agents. The program is designed to be easy to navigate, so clients can book with confidence, enjoy exclusive perks, and focus on creating unforgettable events.”
The modern group traveler is seeking hyper-niche, shared-passion trips, from whiskey tastings to crafting retreats and community-based homestays. Karisma’s W.I.S.E. program meets this demand with curated experiences like:
