NEW DELHI : Indians plan to travel either to meet friends and family or for a much-needed break later this year despite looming fears of a third wave of the covid pandemic, according to travel agents as well as a survey conducted by community social media platform LocalCircles.
The travel plans come ahead of the August and September holidays for festivals such as Rakhi, Janmashtmi, Independence Day, Onam and Ganesh Chaturthi, also fuelling pent up demand for leisure travel.
While bringing good news for the travel and hospitality industry, there are also apprehensions that a spurt in travel may actually speed up the pandemic’s third wave.
