Over 90 percent of people across tier-1 and 2 cities in India displayed keen interest to resume travel, says a survey conducted by travel firm Thomas Cook India and its Group firm SOTC Travel.

About 67 per cent respondents are willing to travel in the next 6 months while 33 per cent indicated that they would wait for the launch of the vaccine, according to the survey.

The companies surveyed over 2,700 customers to identify emerging consumer behaviours and trends that will drive travel preferences during the COVID-19 era.

"A combination of lockdown fatigue and strong pent-up demand, coupled with positive sentiment due to announcements on the vaccine saw 89 percent of respondents displaying keen interest to resume travel," it added.
