Travelxp partners InCompany Media to expand hotel reach in Netherlands
Deal brings immersive travel content to in-room screens across sectors
MAASTRICHT: Travelxp has partnered with InCompany Media to deliver immersive travel and lifestyle programming across hotels, healthcare facilities and corporate spaces in the Netherlands.
The collaboration will see Travelxp integrated into InCompany Media’s TV distribution network, which serves hospitality venues such as hotels, resorts and holiday parks, alongside healthcare institutions and business environments. The move significantly expands Travelxp’s footprint in the Dutch market.
As part of the rollout, Travelxp HD is now available within the ICM TV package, offering fully localised Dutch-language content designed to enhance in-room entertainment experiences. The programming focuses on visually rich travel and lifestyle content aimed at inspiring audiences across both leisure and professional settings.
Commenting on the development, Travelxp managing director europe Sumant Bahl said, “Partnering with InCompany Media marks an important step in strengthening our presence in the Netherlands and the wider European hospitality landscape.” He added, “As guest expectations evolve, curated and high-quality content plays a key role in defining the in-room experience. Through this collaboration, we are proud to bring immersive travel programming to audiences, inspiring discovery and elevating every stay.”
Echoing this, InCompany Media managing director Lucas Vroemen said, “We are delighted to partner with Travelxp to enhance the patient and in-room entertainment experience across our network.” He added, “Delivering engaging and high-quality content is essential as expectations rise, and Travelxp’s programming is a valuable addition that helps us create better experiences for our partners.”
The partnership reflects a broader shift in the hospitality sector, where in-room entertainment is increasingly seen as a differentiator rather than an add-on. By combining distribution scale with premium content, both companies are positioning themselves to meet the growing demand for more engaging, experience-led stays.

Reliance Retail FY26 revenue rises 11.8 Per Cent to Rs 3.7 lakh crore
Q4 revenue up 11.1 Per Cent, hyperlocal orders surge 4x, PAT steady
MUMBAI: Reliance Retail isn’t just ringing up sales, it’s ringing doorbells faster than ever. Reliance Retail Ventures Limited (RRVL) reported a steady FY26 performance, with growth powered by store expansion, a sharp surge in hyperlocal commerce, and consistent traction across grocery, fashion and jewellery. For the full year, revenue rose 11.8 per cent year-on-year to Rs 3,70,026 crore. In the January–March quarter, revenue from operations climbed 11.1 per cent to Rs 87,344 crore, up from Rs 78,622 crore a year earlier.
Operating performance remained stable, with Q4 EBITDA inching up 3.1 per cent YoY to Rs 6,921 crore from Rs 6,711 crore. However, quarterly profit after tax held steady at Rs 3,563 crore. For the full fiscal, PAT grew 11.7 per cent to Rs 13,842 crore.
Expansion remained a key lever. RRVL added 1,564 new stores during FY26, while simultaneously scaling its digital and hyperlocal commerce play. The latter emerged as a standout, with daily orders surging more than fourfold year-on-year in Q4, underlining a clear shift towards faster, localised fulfilment.
In grocery, large-format stores maintained momentum, aided by festive demand and the expansion of Smart Bazaar, which crossed 1,000 stores. Promotional campaigns such as ‘Full Paisa Vasool’ delivered record results, with sales rising 26 per cent YoY.
Digital commerce also picked up pace. JioMart added 5.8 million new users in Q4, nearly doubling its registered base year-on-year. Hyperlocal orders grew 29 per cent sequentially and over 300 per cent annually during the quarter.
Fashion and lifestyle saw steady traction. Ajio recorded a 23 per cent YoY rise in average bill value, while fast-fashion platform Shein crossed 11 million app installs, scaling rapidly with expanding product lines.
The jewellery business added further shine, with average bill value jumping 53 per cent YoY, largely driven by rising gold prices and sustained consumer demand.
Commenting on the shift, RRVL executive director Isha Ambani said hyperlocal commerce has become a structural growth driver, with orders rising more than fourfold over the year.
Looking ahead to FY27, the company is betting on technology to deepen engagement. The focus, Ambani noted, will be on AI-led merchandising, sharper pricing strategies and disciplined execution turning scale into sustained customer value.
In short, the carts are fuller, the clicks are quicker, and the next phase looks less about reach and more about precision.
