Speaking about the store launch, Mr. Anand Menon, Brand Leader, Travel Tours, Leisure Travel Brand of FCM Travel Solutions, said, “We have seen a trend wherein more and more travelers from Tier II cities in southern India especially Tamil Nadu are booking international holidays contributing significantly to the growth in outbound travel from India. Expanding into such tier II markets has proven to be a growth driver for us. After Chennai and Coimbatore, we have seen an increase in visa applications from non or mini metro cities like Madurai. With an increasing number of Indians investing in unique holiday experiences, there has been a significant rise in queries and bookings. The launch of our 38th store is a big step in cementing our foothold in the southern market. Travel Tours has long been known for its quality of service offered and our mission is to provide not only the best service for the best prices but also to ensure that our clients have life changing travel experiences.”
Speaking about the development, Mr. Gagan Malhotra, Brand Leader, Travel Money, Foreign Exchange Brand of FCM Travel Solutions said, “With its pristine beaches and multi-cultural heritage Tamil Nadu has been attracting international visitors every year and is a strong market for foreign exchange. Being one the biggest hubs in the southern airlines sector makes Tamil Nadu a booming outbound market especially for regions like South-East Asia, Australia and New-Zealand. With this new store in Madurai, we want to address the high demands for forex and other related travel services. We look forward to servicing both inbound as well as a growing number of international travellers from Madurai. With the launch of our 42nd store, we are well on our way to expanding our foothold across key markets in Southern India.”
