Mumbai, February 11, 2021: After almost a year of missed holidays, vacation deprived Indians are yearning to take a break and spend quality time with their loved ones. Thomas Cook India & SOTC’s Holiday Readiness Report (December 2020) reveals that 67% of respondents are keen to travel in the next 6 months. Given easing of travel restrictions, international destinations are seeing an upward demand trajectory - with 48% respondents likely to take an international holiday and 50% displaying significant interest for short haul destinations, including Maldives.   

To capitalise on this demand, Thomas Cook India, India’s leading integrated travel services company and its Group Company, SOTC Travel Ltd., have announced an attractive all-inclusive holiday to Maldives at an unbeatable price of Rs. 51 000.00* - converting a premium and aspirational destination into an affordable proposition for Indians. The companies have also curated luxury and super luxury holidays for India’s HNI-UHNI segment, with stays in unique water bungalows and ocean villas at exclusive island resorts of Kandima, Adaaran, Accor and Marriott. For budget travellers, options including Maldivian guest houses ensure great value for money.

In addition to the wedding segment and honeymooners, Maldives’ tropical island allure, coupled with its exotic marine life and exciting water sports, is witnessing growing interest from India’s millennials, adventure enthusiasts, solo travellers and working professionals. It is also a preferred destination for the celebration of special occasions and milestone events.

Besides Maldives, special offers are available across an array of favourite destinations such as Dubai, Russia, Turkey and Egypt; also domestic destinations like Goa, Himachal, North East, Kashmir, Kerala, Ladakh and Andamans - starting at an attractive price of Rs. 16 790.00*.
