New Delhi/Chennai: If you have been planning a holiday, this could be one of the best times to travel.
A combination of extended weekends and steep discounts on hotels and flight deals have come together to make holidays relatively cheap.
This year has about a dozen extended weekends. Many professionals have days off this week, with Holi on Thursday, followed by Good Friday. The next extended weekend is in April during Ram Navami.
"We have had increased demand for the long Holi weekend. More people are travelling to domestic locations than to international destinations," said Ranjeet Oak, chief business officer (holidays), MakeMyTrip - an online travel company.
"While Goa continues to top the charts, many customers are also opting for destinations such as Srinagar, Katra and Jaipur. Internationally, Thailand and Dubai continue to top the charts, followed by Singapore." Popular domestic destinations are those that offer a mix of leisure, work or religious interest. Popular international locations are the ones that can be reached in three-five hours.
