Growing With the City
Simon D’Mello landed in the glorious land of United Arab Emirates in 1977 and began his career as a Public Relation Officer and then moved on to assume the present position as the promoter of his company in Dubai. In fact he has personally witnessed the metamorphosis of this desert land into one of the fastest growing metropolitan cities of the world.
Though he established his company only in 2004, Simon had foreseen a huge potential in the travel and tourism industry way back in 1978. Recalling the incident that stoked his ambition to start his own business initially he says “the idea of setting up a business in the travel and tourism industry was conceived way back in 1978 when groups of tourists from Germany on their way to Goa had landed in Sharjah, where I was residing then, and were visiting the then newly constructed Gold Souq and many other places of attraction in Dubai. Such positive response from foreign visitors made me conscious of the potential in tours and travel industry and the idea caught my fancy then and there. Though the seeds of the objective of setting up my own company were sowed then they got fructified only in 2004 with the starting of Dubai Leisure Holidays”.
The economic meltdown the world over had a drastic impact on the tour and travel industry in general and Simon and his company also had a tough time during this period of recession. But with the unbridled support of his family and his faith in god helped him overcome the hurdles and sustain the business and to bounce back with double the energy.
Modern Approach
Though there is a general belief that the role of the agents is one the vain these days as people have shown a proclivity for online booking Simon says it is only the traditional view and people still prefer some one else doing the arrangements for them but with a professional touch. Simon feels his company holds a cutting edge as compared to the competitors as it is armed with a dynamic and modern approach to travel and tour operations. “Our motto is to strive hard to be the most competent and also to leave an indelible mark in the industry. The secret of our success lay in the fact that we can perceive the requirements and expectations of our clients and alter our services accordingly”, Simon recounts why people have a predilection for his company.
Dubai Leisure Holidays also offers the most comprehensive and best services which any modern day travelers looks for. The company has the services of highly qualified and dedicated team of professionals who cater to all the needs of the customers with a professional touch and personalized services, to ensure a hassle-free and carefree tour so that travelers can get the best deal for the money when they travel without worrying about the minutiae tour details and other arrangements.
Tours and travel business is not an easy task as many might presume it to be. It requires lot of patience, hard work, experience, a large client base and of course a lot of goodwill from the clients. A favorable market reputation will also go a long way in their quest to emerge as market leaders in a competitive field. The company believes that all this can be achieved with the support, cooperation and dedication of loyal workforce, who form the backbone of the company.
Bright Future
As far as the future is concerned Simon is very optimistic and feels that travel and tour industry is growing at a lightening speed and has vast vistas of prosperity and growth. Simon’s son Steve Roland D Mello is all set to render a helping hand in the business to his father. During his internship with the company last summer he exhibited his true potential as a quick learner and true leader, ready to don the responsibility of infusing new ideas and services in the company to give the best deal to the travel enthusiasts. Being young and in know of the needs of the generation next, he is sure to make the company move with the time by infusing innovative and modern ideas aimed at providing better services for the travelers. Simon is happy and contented with the idea that under his son his company is in safer hands and is sure to reach greater glory.
Dubai Leisure Holidays has left no stone unturned to live up to their promise that says “we bring your holidays closer to you”. Ultimately, the company feels that it is the good work and satisfaction of the clientele they serve that will keep them in good stead.
