EaseMyTrip promotes Lakshadweep & Ayodhya for tourism boost, amid India-Maldives row

|January 09, 2024
Co-founder of Ease My Trip Prashant Pitti announced that the business would no longer take reservations for the Maldives in the wake of the current controversy surrounding a Maldives MP’s post about PM Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep.

Instead, the travel platform is redirecting its focus to promote Lakshadweep and Ayodhya, emphasizing the potential of these destinations for tourism. Pitti stated, “Every year, 3 lakh tourists from our nation travel to the Maldives, however now they will be unable to use this feature on EaseMy Trip. We have put five new packages online on EaseMy Trip to publicise Lakshdeep and are proposing that other airlines offer direct service to Lakshdeep from Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore”.
He added, “In addition to promoting Lakshadweep, we are also promoting Ayodhya. In a hope that Ayodhya develops into a popular international tourist attraction, akin to Lakshadweep, where visitors arrive in the spring and foreign travel to our nation rises. To advance our nation, we would like other airlines and travel websites to join our cause”.
