Survey conducted by LocalCircles says 58% Indians are planning to travel between December-March with children getting almost a 15 days winter break.
Christmas and New Year is the perfect time to be with family and friends. During this time of the year people often take their families out for vacations. But this year things are different. Due to the onset of the new Omicron variant, there is a sudden surge in COVID-19 cases the word over.
Omicron cases have greatly risen in the last two weeks. With Omicron detected in almost 100 countries worldwide over the last 4 weeks, India now has over 350 cases of the variant. But despite the virus fear looming large it seems that Indians are in no mood to cancel their holiday plans.
A survey conducted by India's leading Community Social Media platform, LocalCircles shows 58% Indians are planning to travel between December to March with children getting almost a 15 days winter break in most parts of the country followed by another break in March. The travel and tourism industry of India was badly affected during the second wave of the COVID-19 between April and June.
This led to people cancelling their summer holiday plans. But with the unlocking process and subsequently all bans lifted on air and rail travel, LocalCircles data says 28% of citizens had made plans to travel during August and September. Similarly, October-November also saw busy airports, flights and trains with a lot of people traveling during the festive season.
