Atlys and SOCIAL turn cocktails into travel rewards. Atlys and SOCIAL have launched a month-long experiential campaign that combines nightlife and travel by offering visa benefits and international trip opportunities. Atlys and SOCIAL have partnered to launch 'The Great Escape', an experiential campaign that connects nightlife with travel aspirations by turning a cocktail order into an opportunity for visa support and an international getaway. The month-long initiative is designed to engage young consumers at the point where many travel ideas begin: social gatherings with friends. The campaign is built around the insight that travel plans often start as casual conversations over food and drinks but do not always move beyond the planning stage. Through 'The Great Escape', Atlys and SOCIAL aim to convert these spontaneous ideas into actionable travel opportunities by bringing visa services and travel rewards into the nightlife environment. Running across SOCIAL outlets in India for one month, the campaign features a dedicated cocktail called 'Hasta La Visa'. Guests ordering the cocktail will receive a waiver on the Atlys service fee for a visa application to any destination. In addition, 20 selected winners will receive an international trip, including flights and visa costs sponsored by Atlys. Mohak Nahta, founder and chief executive officer at Atlys, said, "At Atlys, we've always wanted travel to feel possible the moment you decide you want to go. With The Great Escape, we're catching people in one of those exact moments a trip takes shape, so for a month, a night out at SOCIAL can end with a visa in your hand and a trip on the calendar. Because the best plans deserve to make it past the table." The campaign reflects the growing role of travel as a form of aspiration, discovery and self-expression among younger consumers. SOCIAL's youth report, 'Voices From The Hood', found that 33% of young Indians travel for fun every three to four months, highlighting the importance of travel experiences within the lifestyle choices of this audience. By bringing the campaign into SOCIAL outlets, Atlys aims to engage consumers in spaces where social interactions and future plans naturally take place. The partnership positions travel as an extension of everyday experiences rather than a separate planning activity. Divya Aggarwal, chief growth officer at Impresario Entertainment & Hospitality, said, "SOCIAL has always been about creating moments that people want to be part of and talk about. With The Great Escape, we are taking a familiar night out and turning it into something much bigger: the possibility of an international trip. Travel today is such a strong part of how young Indians express themselves, and our Voices From The Hood report also showed us how deeply travel is linked to aspiration, discovery, and lifestyle for this audience. In Atlys, we found a partner that shares the same energy of making travel feel simpler, faster, and more accessible. Together, we are creating a moment where your next story could begin at SOCIAL and continue in another country." The campaign will feature enhanced in-outlet activities between 8 PM and 10 PM every evening at select SOCIAL locations. These activations will include announcements and engagement moments designed to build excitement around the opportunity to win an international trip. Through 'The Great Escape', Atlys and SOCIAL aim to combine hospitality, youth culture and travel services by creating a direct link between a social experience and a potential journey abroad.
