MakeMyTrip has launched its first retail store in Bhuj. The store will offer a range of products and services including domestic and international flights, hotels and holiday packages. The store has been opened in partnership with Mira Destinations.
Speaking on the launch, Ranjeet Oak, Chief Business Officer-Holidays, MakeMyTrip, said, “We have partnered with Mira Destinations to launch our store in Bhuj. The store will enable local travellers to access our value-based holiday packages and services in a personalized environment. This is in line with our endeavor to provide our services to travellers across the country.”
He further said that Gujarat has shown over 60 per cent yoy growth in transactions and passenger volume in outbound holidays this year. Greece and Turkey are doing particularly well as emerging destinations, with passenger volumes from the state making up nearly 30 per cent of our top 3 destinations during the peak summer holiday season. Gujarati travellers, especially in non-metro centres, have also shown an increasing propensity to spend on their holidays. Across Gujarat, average spends on domestic holidays increased 25 per cent this summer compared to last year. Average passenger spends in non-metros grew in strong double-digits – 42 per cent for Surat, 33 per cent for Rajkot, and 24 per cent for Baroda, while the increase in Ahmedabad was 9 per cent.”
