Nov-03-2025

Thomas Cook (India) and its group company -- SOTC Travel have relaunched China as a key holiday destination for Indian travellers. This move is backed by a series of positive developments, including the strengthening of diplomatic relations between India and China, resumption of direct flight connectivity and a relaxed visa approval process -- all contributing to a renewed travel demand among Indians. The companies have expanded their China holidays portfolio with a comprehensive suite of itineraries designed to appeal to a wide segment of customers from multi-generational families, Young India’s GenZ and millennials, working professionals, frolleagues, couples, seniors and solo travellers. 

The enhanced China portfolio blends popular attractions with exciting new destinations and experiences. For their Group Tours, the companies feature travel via high-speed trains, including the popular Xian-Beijing route. Enhanced comfort is ensured through porter services at major train stations and pre-planned menus that blend Indian favourites with regional Chinese cuisine - with Indian chefs flown in exclusively to cater to vegetarian preferences and the Indian palate. Additionally, the portfolio has multi-destination tours to China-Japan for the Cherry Blossom season.

In addition to leisure travel, China’s advanced infrastructure, expanding flight connectivity and return of trade events are also driving strong potential across both business travel and the MICE segment. With cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu emerging as key hubs, the companies are witnessing increased interest from corporates for business travel as well as for meetings, incentive programs, and conferences.

Thomas Cook (India) is the leading omnichannel travel company in the country offering a broad spectrum of services including foreign exchange, corporate travel, mice, leisure travel, value added services, and visa services.
