Some new travel options for those interested in India.
Luxury trains will add a new dimension to the country’s tourism landscape when two such trains with private participation are launched in the next three months, charging up to Rs 3.7 lakh per person in a presidential suite for a week’s travel. Travel firms Thomas Cook’s subsidiary Travel Corporation (India) and Cox & Kings will soon launch luxury trains on the tourist circuits of the country even as the global slowdown has hit occupancy in luxury trains abroad, such as the Orient Express in Europe — that was immortalised in Agatha Christie’s mystery novels — and the Blue Train in South Africa. – From India Times
