On the back of strong Rupee, travel major Thomas Cook (India) Ltd Wednesday said it registered a robust growth of booking for international travel from India in the January-March period of 2019 as elections have not shown any negative sentiment to tours.

The company has decided to offer sops to celebrate the Lok Sabha election and launched 'Ghar Jao Vote Karo' campaign ahead of the polls that begins Thursday.

"We have registered 20 per cent jump in revenue while the number of travellers' booking rose by 15-16 per cent in the January-March 2019 compared to the same period last year," Thomas Cook India VP (holidays) Romil Pant said.

About the sops around elections, he said, "We are offering Rs 1,000 discount for domestic travellers booking an air ticket from workplace city to their hometown to vote."
