What is a DSS (Destinations Strategist & Specialist)?

Holiday Moods Adventures believes the time has come to expand and redefine the vision of the travel trade. A DSS (Destinations Strategist & Specialist) offers a broader, deeper, and more strategic role.

A DSS curates travel knowledge, builds destination awareness, supports strategic planning, and empowers DMCs, Tour Operators and travel agents through training, co-branded content, white-label proposals, webinars, and roadshows. A DSS proactively leads positioning and product development for an entire region.

With the formal launch of its DSS positioning, Holiday Moods Adventures became the first company in India and the GCC to adopt this strategic branding, solidifying its leadership in curating and promoting specialized travel to unique global regions. The company’s core strength lies in its expertise in the North and South Polar regions—destinations that require not only logistical finesse but deep cultural, environmental, and experiential understanding.

These destinations are not just offered as travel packages, but as deeply researched and passionately curated travel experiences that highlight the regions’ ecological wonders, Arctic and Viking heritage, local cultures, wildlife, and sustainable tourism models.

The company assists the trade by crafting immersive itineraries across seasons—from Aurora Borealis hunts and midnight sun expeditions to fjord cruises and polar wildlife encounters—tailored for a growing clientele seeking transformative travel.
