In consideration of Government guidelines and orders, a handful of states have allowed opening up of more activities outside containment zones and announced partial reopening of schools. Amidst the economic downturn, governments across the world are considering the idea of a “travel bubble” to revitalise their tourism sectors. “Travel bubbles” are an agreement between countries or regions within a country that allows for travel across borders for non-essential trips without the requirement of a 14-day quarantine upon arrival. The goal is to create safe passage for travel in an attempt to normalize economic activity.


The travel platforms have seen a spike in interest for destinations within India, especially Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, UP, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Goa and many more states. Keeping up with this surge, they are providing all quality services such as sanitization of tourist areas, hotels, transport,  private cabs, trains, health and hygiene of the guests by all means.

 

Keeping the spirit going, IRCTC have come up with idea of promoting domestic tourism across the length and breadth of India. IRCTC propose to expand its base to various travel agents and tour operators through accreditation of recognized association like FAITH, ADTOI, IATO, etc. Presently, we are looking to have 5-10 best domestic sales agents in each 29 states and 7 UT of India. We will be contacting them one to one for signing of the agreement with IRCTC. For this process we require your support to provide us the contact details of all those tour operators and agents who have done better in past and are willing to get associated with IRCTC for domestic tourism promotion available on our portal www.irctctourism.com

 

Kindly send us the 10 x (29 states + 7 UT) = 360 domestic sales agents at first go, so that we can start follow up with these agents. The concerned officers of IRCTC are listed below for one to one contact and signing of the agreement to get them ID and password accordingly. The commission will be on cut and pay basis online. We are open for enrolling more and more agents in future also.
