Talking about the growing attraction of Tier2 and Tier 3 cities, Meera Rajaram, Partner and Leisure Travel Specialist, Narmada Holidays LLP said that there is more interest in smaller destinations, particularly when the journey has a spiritual or cultural focus. She noted that Uttar Pradesh (Ayodhya, Siddharthnagar), Madhya Pradesh (Ujjain, Omkareshwar) and Bihar (Bodh Gaya, Rajgir) are areas of keen interest. The improved aviation and rail connectivity has made travel to these regions much more viable. “This combination of better connectivity, improving accommodation and a growing interest in deeper cultural and spiritual experiences is opening up many destinations that were previously harder to include in an international itinerary.”
