As Washington DC bursts into bloom with its iconic Cherry Blossom Festival, Indian travel agents have a new reason to spotlight the U.S. capital in their outbound travel offerings. RedPlanner, India’s rapidly growing B2B travel technology platform, has joined hands with Destination DC to make it easier than ever for Indian travel professionals to design, book, and sell tailor-made Washington DC itineraries.

The collaboration comes at a time when Indian travellers are actively looking beyond traditional American cities for culturally rich and visually compelling experiences. Washington DC fits the brief perfectly — a city where historic monuments, vibrant neighbourhoods, and world-class museums meet serene parks and seasonal splendour. The spring cherry blossom season, in particular, draws global attention, turning the capital into a pastel-toned dreamscape ideal for family holidays, honeymooners, luxury FITs, and even educational and corporate travel.

What makes this development significant for the Indian travel trade is RedPlanner’s intuitive, tech-enabled platform that empowers agents to create curated itineraries with real-time pricing, destination content, and bookable components. Travel experts can now log into RedPlanner, explore a variety of themed Washington DC programs, and offer clients a seamless planning experience — from hotel stays and airport transfers to guided tours and cultural experiences.

RedPlanner’s tools are especially useful for agents catering to the rising demand for experiential travel. Washington DC offers more than just political landmarks — clients can stroll around the Tidal Basin under blooming cherry trees, visit free-entry Smithsonian museums, explore African-American heritage trails, or dine at Michelin-starred restaurants along The Wharf. Whether it’s a luxury couple getaway, a student tour, or a MICE delegation, the city offers the kind of diversity Indian travellers are increasingly seeking.

The tie-up reflects RedPlanner’s core mission: enabling Indian travel professionals with world-class destination access and seamless B2B operations. According to company sources, the platform is already seeing increased interest in U.S. cities like Washington DC, especially among agents targeting HNI clients and culturally curious travellers.

With easier planning, customisable templates, and tech-led efficiency, Washington DC is now well within reach for Indian travel agents aiming to diversify their U.S. portfolio. And with the cherry blossoms in bloom, there’s never been a better time to pitch the capital to your clients.
