Apart from that the company has also entered into a strategic alliance with Deccan by virtue of which anybody booking one ticket with the airlines company would get a second ticket absolutely free of cost.

Asked why a travel portal— Kumar said: “With time this is going to emerge as a major revenue earning industry. Moreover this would be also be a one-stop travel guide unlike other portals which are only restricted to bookings.”

The portal would also provide facilities like car bookings, travel insurance and destination tips. “We have tied up with local taxi drivers association in all cities and in Jharkhand the only city enlisted is Ranchi as others do not have any such association,” said Kumar.

Some of the other added services include site visits, holiday packages, special package by Euro Rail, world class cruises, forex rates and travel insurance. United India Insurance would provide these insurances to the travellers. There would also be a special link for travel tips and destination details.
