Historically, travel in India has largely been the domain of the 35-60 year old age group. Thomas Cook India's customer analysis however, unearthed a strong, emerging trend; almost 45% of its individual holiday travelers are Youth, and this segment is poised to grow at an exponential rate of 25-30%. The analysis also uncovered an interesting insight/business opportunity; for the young traveler of today, travel is clearly not about traversing the distance between point A and B, but rather a voyage of discovery -of new places, and importantly - different, exciting non-traditional experiences.

In a focused endeavour to tap this new and powerful youtti market, Thomas Cook India has been swift to seize the first mover advantage with the launch of its unique Youth travel portfolio, 'Rock-On Holidays'

The product team of 'Rock-On Holidays' has designed a delightful diversity of youthful experiential itineraries at destinations carefully handplcked to enthuse its avid young travelers, and starting from an unbelievable Rs. 35,000 - bike tours and pub crawls In Spain, scuba diving at Ko Samet, elephant trekking & rafting in Bali, Queen&town's high adventure activities, mountain biking, para gliding & alpine trekking in Switzerland, Orlando's Clearwater beach tripping, Kilimanjaro climb in Tanzania, Iceland's stunning Northern Lights tour, Horse trails in South Africa, a local village experience In Laos, and more.

Keeping the unique interests of India's young travelers in mind, 'Rock-On Holidays' offers exhilarating and engaging activities like l-fly, fissure snorkelling, ice-climbing, kayaking, zip-trekking, snow-mobiling, glacier hiking and unconventional ways of touring- via horseback, Segway, bicycling, or even a Ferrari drive experience. Experimental off-beat journeys with that unique adrenalin rush form a hallmark of the 'Rock-On Holidays' product line.

Thomas Cook India's case studies have indicated the clear intent of youth- Partying is a priority! Rock-Gn Holidays' has hence included the best of world famous clubbing capitals: Miami, with a special 'One Single Party Pass' offering unlimited entry to the choicest night dubs; Las Vegas with a unique VIP Pool Party tour'; an inimitable 'Dine with an Astronaut' experience in Orlando and Europe's top party place-Ibiza.

Food and wine are emerging as key Interests that captivate our evolving youth segment, and Rock-On Holidays has captured unique gastronomic and wine-beer experiences as part of its itineraries.

Today's young travelers are increasingly looking for meaningful yet fun learning experiences and hence the inclusion of engaging training sessions for scuba diving, surfing, sailing, flamenco dancing and even culinary classes in the Rock-On Holidays portfolio.

Another important perspective that 'Rock-On Holidays' has kept in mind is that all packages are attractively priced to ensure value-for-money. Accommodation is kept affordable with an eclectic mix of from basic hotels to youth hostels.

Thomas Cook designs package to ‘rock’ youth segment

Coimbatore, Nov 8:

The growing economic might of the youth segment, which has left its imprint on the auto, mobile communication and textile sectors, seems to have the tourism business too under it spell!

With a view to capitalise on this lucrative business opportunity, Thomas Cook (India) Ltd (TCIL) has chalked out a package aimed at 'rocking' this group by launching a youth-centric product 'Rock-On-Holidays'.

Travel in the country, which used to be the forte of people in the 35-60 years age group, has changed, a study by it has found. The study showed that nearly 45 per cent of its 'individual holiday travellers' were youth and the market is "poised to grow at an exponential rate of 25-30 per cent".

Its market analysis also brought to light an interesting trend: the young, upwardly mobile population is not just interested in travelling from one place to another; it would rather make a 'voyage of discovery', scouting for new places and is on the look out for exciting 'non-traditional experiences'.

In a communication to the stock exchanges, TCIL has detailed its plans to launch 'Rock-on-Holidays'. The tour packages would have plenty of adventure thrown in -- bike tours and pub crawls in Spain, scuba diving at Ko Samet, elephant trekking and rafting in Bali, mountain biking, para-gliding and alpine trekking in Switzerland and much more. The starting price of the packages is Rs 35,000.

The company said the product would also offer activities such as I-fly, fissure snorkelling, ice-climbing, kayaking with a range of unconventional options such as horseback, Segway and even the thrill of a Ferrari ride. Its study also revealed that for the Indian youth 'partying is a priority'. It has therefore included places such as Miami, Las Vegas, Orlando in the US and Ibiza in Spain in its itineraries.

TCIL says all the packages are priced attractively to ensure value-for-money and accommodation would consist of a mix of basic hotels and youth hostels.

Madhav Pai, Director-Leisure Travel (Outbound), TCIL, was confident that the Rock-On-Holidays would address a 'latent need of this powerful youth market' and create a new breed of customers for the brand.
