I extremely hopeful outbound travel resuming in 2021. Some of the early signs have been India’s air travel bubble with the Maldives and Dubai. There has been a record-breaking number of travellers to these countries between July and now, which is indicative of the positive outlook towards outbound travel even in such challenging times. am of

The issue with outbound travel from India is that there are very few countries or destinations that are open to tourists from India. Due to the lack of options, Indians have become more creative about exploring domestic destinations. However, once borders start reopening and restrictions will start easing out, I am very hopeful of travellers continuing with their holiday plans outside of the country, as has been the trend in the recent past (before COVID-19)

My team and I spearheaded a project to operate a direct chartered flight between Kolkata and the Maldives while observing strict health and safety measures. The direct flight not only made travel from Kolkata to the Maldives convenient but also helped reduce exposure to additional airports, hence reducing exposure to germs. We have been keeping ourselves updated about health and safety protocols to be followed while travelling, and we have been educating our clients about the same. By combining direct flights and hotels that maintain safety standards, we have been able to curate stress-free experiences for our clients.
