Travel agents and tour operators from Ahmedabad are of the opinion that local destinations are finding new favor with tourists from Gujarat and even abroad this Christmas season.

 

Nearby destinations like Rajasthan and Goa are also selling like hot cakes. The tour operators said that Christmas has brought cheer as business has started pouring in after Diwali vacation, and inquiries dropped in compared to previous years.

 

Diu, Somnath, Dwarka, Saputara and Rannotsav are the major local destinations where Gujaratis are thronging. Arrivals of Non-Resident Indians (NRI) during the winter season is also boosting business, as, in addition to attending social functions, NRIs also love to travel, said Jigar Dudakiya, president of Gujarat Chapter of Travel Agents Federation of India (TAFI).

 

“This year, marriage season began early and we are also witnessing enquiries and bookings from honeymooners,” said Dudakiya.

 

The recent introduction of direct flights from Ahmedabad to destinations like Jaisalmer, Dehradun and Jabalpur has also boosted air traffic on these destinations.

 

With direct flight connectivity, one can visit these places for a 3-4 day vacation. A direct flight to Shirdi is also being planned. Development of such infrastructure is good for tourism sector,” said Dudakiya. Short-duration international destinations like Dubai, Bali, Singapore are also popular this Christmas.
