With disposable income in India growing, self-drive holidays are gaining popularity and are expected to grow 35 per cent annually, giving people freedom to explore offbeat destinations, say experts.
"The liberty to stop anywhere for meals or sightseeing empowers travellers," FCM Travel Solutions - Indian subsidiary of Flight Centre Travel Group, Australia, Managing Director Rakshit Desai told PTI here.
It also adds a new perspective to the whole self-exploration experience, which is overlooked in group tours with fixed itineraries. Besides, it gives travellers freedom to explore off-beat locations as per their interest, he added.
He said, his company has witnessed 35 per cent year-on-year growth in the self-drive segment. "We are confident this trend going to increase from here."
