Chartered Flights to Boost Tourism

Tourism industry in countries like India is experiencing a boom, thanks to the Chartered flights that are playing a major role in boosting tourism. The Indian government took steps to liberalize tourism for inbound as well as outbound charter flights to boost tourism. The move will also make air travel easier and affordable too. Flexibility in the regulations such as sale of empty leg space, permission to fly Indian passport holders and landing in any of the 18 airports in the country are some of the measures that would make chartered flights to boost tourism in the county. According to the sources, Indians can now use chartered flights to return home. So far this facility was available to foreigners only. The ministry of aviation has also waived restrictions on the number of flights, their frequency and the size of aircraft. The travel and tourism industry in the country is experiencing a boom with due expectations that the government would provide better infrastructure and airport facilities.

A spurt in the number of charter flights, especially during the peak holiday season of December-January is expected to reduce the pressure on scheduled flights. For a certain period of time, the tourism industry in India experienced the dearth of hotel rooms and flight seats. However, now with the government giving chartered flights the freedom to use any airport in the country, travel costs are set to become more economical. If handled properly, chartered flights can give a big boost to the tourism in the country by bringing in more tourists. Tourists from countries such as Russia, Europe and Africa will prefer chartered flights as they provide them economically viable options. Travel agencies like Cox & Kings are gearing up to take advantage of the new liberal regime to woo more traffic from the U.S., Britain and Japan. In case of outbound travel, the option of charter flights is likely to see the emergence of the Indian backpackers on a bigger scale.
