Thomas Cook India and its subsidiary SOTC Travel have introduced holiday packages to Switzerland and Paris
To cater to a booming demand, notably from the Tier II and Tier III cities in India, for travel to Switzerland and Paris, the country’s largest travel firm Thomas Cook India and its subsidiary SOTC Travel have launched special holiday packages at competitive pricing.
According to a press statement issued by Thomas Cook India, consumer data shows that while Europe continues to experience high demand, consumers frequently encounter issues with super peak pricing and limited availability. The data insights show that the modern traveller is looking for unique experiences, smaller booking windows, and with immediate end-to-end fulfilment.
The statement adds that this trend served as the inspiration for the creation of the companies’ Readymade Holidays to Switzerland and Paris, which guarantee immediate online reservations, are backed by guaranteed inventory, and provide unbeatable pricing.
According to the data, with over 40 pc of consumer demand for Europe, Switzerland and Paris feature as favourites. It’s significant that this demand is coming from Tier II and Tier III cities as well as India’s metros and mini-metros. The companies say that their packages are expertly crafted by professionals based on years of expertise and client feedback with a strategic goal to maximise on the great potential and provide the best of both destinations.
The statement adds that travel itinerary includes unique, handpicked experiences like peak walk on the suspension bridge at Glacier 3000, an exciting ride in an open-air cable car on the CabriO cableway at Stanserhorn, as well as jet boating on Lake Brienz, river rafting in the Gstaad region. Customers can also look forward to experiencing authentic local flavours and attractions such as dining at the Harder Kulm Panorama Restaurant or bar-hopping to famous nightspots, with dedicated vegetarian tours for vegetarians. Accommodation includes stay in premium (4 star) accommodation, spanning across alpine stays in the uber luxe ski resort of Gstaad and stays in the heart of Paris, walking distance from the Eiffel Tower, adds the company statement.
