NEW DELHI: (May 18) India has the potential to become a powerhouse in ocean and river cruise tourism, even as volatility of airfares and infrastructural gaps like limited availability of quality hotels pose challenges for the domestic market, Thomas Cook India Managing Director and CEO Mahesh Iyer said.
In an interview with PTI, he highlighted that cruise holidays have emerged as a highly viable travel option by eliminating the complexities of multiple visas, offering seamless travel between destinations and an all-inclusive proposition of accommodation, dining, entertainment and sightseeing in one experience.
“With government initiatives like the Cruise Bharat Mission and Maritime India Vision 2030, we foresee positive growth and expansion in this segment,” the Thomas Cook India MD and CEO said.
