Making its venture into the ever-expanding online travel agency eco-system, Take Trip Limited, a proud concern of the US Bangla Group, kicked off its journey with a monumental launch event in the scenic Maldives! Take Trip aims to meet the needs of the flourishing travel trade of Bangladesh, which is expanding at approximately 10% year on year.

Backed by the support of US Bangla Airlines, it plans to offer unparalleled support to its B2B agents, in the form of industry-leading commission structures, group ticketing facilities, holiday package support, and special fares from various airlines.

Led by Daraz Mahmud, former Regional Head of Travelport GDS for Bangladesh and Nepal, the Take Trip team is comprised of industry veterans such as Mahdee Kabir, former head of sales for IndiGo in Bangladesh, Nuruddin Sharif, formerly from various airlines, and many others. 

Speaking on the occasion of the launching event Mr. Daraz Mahmud remarked, “To date, only a small portion of the industry has been tapped by the online travel agencies, which leaves a big room for expansion. 

In line with the vision of the Hon. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for a digital Bangladesh, many individuals are now beginning their new entrepreneurial ventures to serve the industry which is showing unprecedented growth. 

Take Trip Limited wishes to support these entrepreneurs who in turn will help the growing needs of the tourism and employment market, by providing technical expertise and industry know-how. 

Joined by country managers, sales managers and representatives of various airlines, as well as industry experts, Take Trip began its journey recently with an event held at “The Standard, Huruwalhi” resort of the Maldives.
