· Summer vacations are round the corner and the demand for holidays have risen by at least 20 percent compared to the same period last year.

· More than 60 percent of the outbound travelers prefer group holidays to Europe, USA and the Far East—Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

Apart from our regular coach tours, we have also introduced guaranteed coach tours to England and Scotland. Among long-haul destinations, USA, Australia and New Zealand also continues to get its fair share of tourists. For those who love exotic destinations Japan, South Korea, Israel and Zambia are the top favourites.

· An upward trend is observed in people choosing the unconventional destinations as the new-age travellers are making bold choices like Morroco, Machu Picchu (Peru), Jordan and Flanders (Flanders is a rich and lively cluster of cities in Belgium, made up of Antwerp, Brussels, Bruges, Ghent, Leuven and Mechelen). This set of travellers like to go beyond the usual destinations and must-see attractions. They seek for true experiences and look for itineraries more attuned to local culture.

· Domestic destinations also witness huge footfalls and this year we see a lot of interest for destinations such as Kashmir, North East, Goa and Kerala.
