Despite
being a traditional low or off-season, travel bookings for the
Monsoon witnessed 60 per cent increase, especially to domestic
destinations, compared to the same period last year, according to a
report. "There was an exponential 60 per cent increase in demand
for domestic travel during the monsoons," Integrated travel and
travel related financial services company Thomas Cook (India) said in
a report. The statistics are based on bookings through the company
for the Monsoon season. "Monsoons in India have a truly special
allure- an experience in itself to witness the rains across different
parts of the country," Thomas Cook (India) President and Country
Head - Leisure Travel, MICE, Rajeev Kale said. "The value
seeking traveller of today looks beyond the ordinary, inspiring us to
curate special offers and unique monsoon experiential packages with
us," Kale added. Special discounts offered by airlines and
hotels are creating strong incentive to inspire 'travel savers', it
said. In India, Kerala continues to be a favourite with strong
preference for the beaches of Kovalam and Varkala, hill retreats of
Munnar and Vagamon. There is also an increasing demand for Auroville
in Puducherry, Bhutan and Ladakh during this season, the report said.
Travellers in and around Delhi are keen on short and drivable
holidays to Manali, Dharamshala, Mcleodganj, Mussoorie. For
travellers based in Mumbai, Harishchandragadh, Rajmachi, Lohagad,
Igatpuri, Lonavala, Matheran and Mahableshwar feature prominently, it
said.
