More Tourists opt for customized options in Kerala holidays

Online, May 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The latest trends among holiday makers to Kerala has been showing a definite shift towards customized packages. While package tours have been popular till the recent past, now more and more tourists are choosing only what they need and stick to a rigid budget plan. Home stays and economy hotels are being preferred these days by holiday groups for their attractive price tag and an intimate and private experience.

Mr. Venu K Nair, who represents the Sales and Marketing Division of the Karmakerala Travel Desk had this to say to us

"A majority of travelers from other parts of India choose to include Thekkady or Munnar followed by house boat trips and a stay in any back water hotels instead of opting the ready made packages and itineraries" Whereas foreign tourists put beaches at the forefront of their travel lists. Due to the extended winter in UK and Europe, we anticipate a lot more tourists than previous years as people would be loving to get out of their homes and to enjoy a well deserved holiday"

With the onset of monsoons in another fortnight or so, Kerala will be receiving more tourists who will be exploring Ayurveda rejuvenation packages and monsoon special deals. As Kerala is a small and compact state, which can be explored fully in a few days, more people are choosing a holiday at their own pace these days by booking accommodation, transportation and house boat deals separately.

Karma Kerala is one of the most reputed travel operators in Kerala with sales counters in Edinburgh and UK and has designed special deals for every budget and travel choices of its guests.
