In this issue

Dear Friends,

The festive season has uplifted the spirits of travel enthusiasts, ushering in much-needed cheer in the travel and tourism sector and indicating a shift in consumer travel. Travellers are now planning travel for the upcoming winter holidays of Christmas and New Year. Flight searches have risen 25-30 per cent for leisure travel during holidays, and last-minute airfares for popular routes still see a steep jump due to high travel demand.
While the going is good, the TTJ November 2022 issue takes note of the visa fiasco in the UK and Canada, and the visa appointment delays in the US, which is ruining thousands of travel plans to and from India.

This issue also covers domestic and international trip reports, reflecting the magazine’s popularity. We have extensively covered TTJ Travmart at Raipur, our milestone 40th B2B travel mart in our series of Travmarts. TTJ Travmart launched its first mart in Raipur in 2017. Also, you will find many more topics to keep you engrossed and updated.

As you read, we hope you are all geared up for the next festive rush!

Happy Reading!
