The news: The Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre and Novotel Jaipur Convention Centre, both managed by Accor, have appointed Vikas Sood as General Manager. This leadership move comes as Jaipur strengthens its position as a tier-2 MICE destination in India.
Why it matters for MICE operators: Strong GM leadership directly impacts your venue partnerships, event execution, and client satisfaction. Sood's appointment signals Accor's commitment to Jaipur's MICE segment, likely bringing enhanced services, better coordination, and improved rates negotiation for operators. This is an opportunity to engage with new leadership and understand their strategic priorities for conferences, exhibitions, and corporate events.
The takeaway: Schedule a meeting with Vikas Sood to align on group booking processes, incentive rates, and co-marketing opportunities for 2025-2026.
