New Delhi: In what will be a first for the Indian aviation industry, the country’s second largest low-cost carrier SpiceJet is planning to offer a complete tour package to tourist hotspots in states such as Goa, Kerela, Jammu & Kashmir and Karnataka. In line with the trend with international destinations, the package will be complete with air travel, hotel bookings and trip planning. The carrier is looking at using the tool to differentiate its offerings from the rest.
Anish Srikrishna, senior vice-president, marketing, SpiceJet told FE that the company is pursuing talks with hotel chains and various tourism boards. The company has already tied-up with the Trident chain of hotels and Ista Hotels. Currently, only full-service carrier offers similar services for a trip to Kerela.

Through the service, the company is targeting railways passengers who would upgrade to air looking at the convenience offered.
