Spread over a period of 5 auspicious days, Diwali is considered to be one of the most important festivals in the country. Schools, colleges, offices, most of India, are busy and involved in the grand preparations and celebrations of the upcoming festivities. Considered as a peak travel period, Diwali is one such festival wherein those scarce leaves from work need to be used to the fullest. This calls for a quick and budget travel plan that has to be put in place in terms of destinations that could be visited, activities to be done, places to visit etc. Travel studies have shown a trend that state, more and more Indians are planning at least one outbound trip a year and since Diwali is just around the corner, this calls for last minute planning. Some of the safest bets in terms of destinations would be Southeast Asia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. These destinations are the most frequently traveled and are great destinations for family vacations as well as youth, couples etc. Traveling abroad for a 5 day trip is now a huge trend and with lucrative 3/4/5 day packages, which are specifically designed to fit your budget, this festive season looks like a great time to take on a vacation. Thomas Cook (India) Ltd has a list of exotic destinations to choose from such as Turkey, Canary Islands, New Zealand etc. For those who haven’t traveled around India, the must-see places during this season are Delhi, Varanasi, Jaipur, Kolkata & Amritsar. These destinations are considered to be the top 5 picks to experience India and participate in the carnival during the festival of lights. Mr. MADHAV PAI, Thomas Cook (India) Ltd., COO Leisure Travel — (Outbound), -‘ Diwali holidays are a great time for self-indulgent short breaks or weekend getaways. If you are booking last-minute, you will have to be flexible on the dates and destinations as Diwali is a peak travel period. The Far East is a good option as it offers great value for money. I recommend booking an all-inclusive holiday at one of the following resorts. The remote Soneva Kiri on Koh Kood Island. Thailand is ideal for couples looking for a romantic getaway, while the Maldives’ Constance Halaveli offers a luxurious family holiday.’ Madhav Pai also added,’For an action-packed break, stay at Club Med Kani or Bali—both have plenty of adventure sports to keep you busy. My advice to get a good deal: book as early as possible.’ For more information visit, http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/13203478-diwali-holidays-are-a-great-time-for-selfindulgent-short-breaks-or-weekend-getaways-says-madhav-pai-thomas-cook-india
