Commonwealth games spurt local Travel Market

Commonwealth games has led to an unexpected rise in the domestic travel, airlines and holiday booking. This is largely on account of the one month school and office vacations planned during the commonwealth games. Another reason could be wish of the less sport loving people to avoid the huge traffic and crowd during the commonwealth games.

Major online travel portals have seen a major hike in travel bookings for the period starting October, with an hike of 15% increase in ticket sales. Another major component is the tendency of visitors to avoid Rajasthan, Agra and nearby areas as these places are expected to attract the most visitors as an spin off from the commonwealth games.
