Rising fuel costs and the prevailing inflationary pressures seem to have limited impact on the people's holiday plans for the coming year, when the number of Indians planning an overseas vacation will rise from 2011 levels, a survey said today.
The study, conducted by travel portal TripAdvisor, also found that 44 per cent of Indians plan to spend more on leisure travel next year despite the current economic climate. Besides, about 45 per cent Indians expect to spend the same amount as they did in 2011. In addition, Indians planning at least one international holiday would rise by 20 per cent in 2012, from the levels seen in 2011, the survey found. " Nothing seems to dampen the traveller's spirit in the coming year, be it increasing fuel charges or an incorrigible inflation," said TripAdvisor India Country Manager Nikhil Ganju said.
