Summer vacation is the time to feel the bliss under the sun amidst pristine backwaters, to see new sights of your favorite places and an opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones. Tour operators may be crying hoarse over the hit their business has taken because of the slide in the value of the rupee, but the summer vacation market shows no signs of a slowdown because people are snapping up special packages to off- beat destinations and taking full advantage of loyalty programmers. This summer’s footloose Indians are taking unusual breaks and splurging on packages irrespective of depreciation of Rupee against Dollar.
Talking about destinations, travelers seem to be getting more adventurous by the year, moving away from conventional guided tours. Austria, Russia, Malaysia are some of the destinations that are popular among experiential travel junkies ,increasingly looking at getaways as opportunities to satisfy their thirst for adventure. Urvashi Sahay, Founder CEO, Excluzen.com, India’s premier luxury lifestyle said “Traditional family oriented travellers, whose destination preferences were defined by the family, are now looking at travel as a way to discover unexplored destinations."
Excluzen, in fact, has found takers for packages advertised on the website, from an all- inclusive deal at the Ranthambhore Tiger Safari Lodge priced at Rs 4,950 per person per night, to a two night, three- day luxury yacht holiday in Kerala for Rs 45,000 per person. A traveler’s biggest need is to have a hassle- free holiday and it seems the travel trade is making the travel experience easier for the end user.
