The Web and Travel Sites in India

The great indian economy has opened up and all that.Ok,this is'nt yet another account of the opening up of the economy which you'd have read about a gazillion times. (If you have'nt,please let me know).This has led to a lot of travellers ,or at least people who have the enthusiasm to travel.And they aren't just the software engineers who've earned in a few years what their parents did in their lifetimes.The parents are in the club too (some thanks to fat VRS payouts)
Well,I've found it very easy to book and travel in India thanks to these travel sites,and mind you they're doing great business too..Now this is a welcome change for me,and I did find these great assets..(Again,let me know if you think otherwise,and why)
So here I go (It was actually all my enthusiasm at seeing so many travel websites in India which made me write this blog post)
www.makemytrip.com (The pioneer,at least I knew about this guy first)
www.yatra.com
www.ezeego1.com (Strange name - ezeego1 -But he gives great discounts on the airfare - unfortunately not on your (rather high at this time) tax amount).
www.cleartrip.com
Don't we see enough sites up for competition with the US?
They've also got nifty toll-free callup facilities which allow you to call in case you don't have internet access..That's what I believe ,these guys do smarter than their US counterparts.
A point which importantly differentiates India and the US is that low-cost airlines in the US do NOT participate in these alliances from websites that all promise "the lowest prices on earth,in middle earth and under lower earth",but the ones in India do.The most important point in this whole here blog post is..If you are an Indian consumer,you win -superbig time.
Have fun, whoever reads this..and wish you a great 2008!
