Growing demand for quick getaways: Thomas Cook India

Thomas Cook (India), integrated travel services company, has introduced Staycations, an array of mini-vacations for Indians increasingly seeking quick, stress-free getaways close to home. Staycations are available at handpicked hotels, either within one’s city of residence or at a short drivable distance.

According to Thomas Cook India’s Holiday Readiness Report – Future of Travel post COVID-19: 64% respondents were keen on a domestic holiday; 75% ranking health and safety as a primary concern. To ensure a perfect blend, Thomas Cook’s Staycations are designed to allow Indians to unwind at hotels in their home city or at a convenient driveable distance close to home – saving on time, additional travel expenses and without the stress of complex itinerary planning.

Hotels have been carefully selected under the company’s Assured Programme in partnership with Apollo Clinics, to ensure health and safety standards.

Rajeev Kale, president and country head of holidays, MICE and Visa at Thomas Cook (India) said: “Our launch of Staycations therefore, is perfectly timed as travellers seek comfort in familiar locales minus the stress of planning or long hours spent on the road.”
