The world is still trying to defeat a novel virus, India too has been affected by a big chunk of the Coronavirus(also China), making each individual and business working towards and preparing for a world where Coronavirus is the in-disease.
The travel industry is definitely facing a hard time considering the fact that a person is not even allowed to roam around their houses at specific times. Being a travel startup that is still trying to make its way in the already highly competitive industry, we have had to realize that conventional methods of providing “safe generic packages” are not going to work.
Our aim has always been to revamp the entire travel industry, not just making a name for ourselves but creating such an impact so as to overhaul the whole travel experience by giving the traveler a complete control over their journey, and this situation might be a blessing in disguise that we needed.
To be honest, this setting has made us blow our heads off as well, after all, travel startups or small or medium-sized businesses that were dependent on everyday trips in order to survive have no option but to either close shop or wait out the pandemic. But since we are always thinking of novel ways to change travel, we did come up with a way to make post-Coronavirus travel hassle-free and as safe as staying at home.
By taking out multiple surveys and polls regarding the concern over traveling, the first and foremost concern was definitely a no-brainer, safety. Now, there are hundreds of companies offering this safe resort in a less afflicted state or city, which is really nice to start with but it lacks the innovation we require in the 21st-century and the fact that just by advertising the destination is safe, a concerned traveler is not going to be convinced. Our approach towards a safe-travel experience with keeping the social distancing norms intact is a bit unorthodox.
While we obviously plan to have the new essentials sanitizers, masks, gloves, and symptom check during every experience, we’ll go above and beyond with sanitizing the accommodation and transportation before the start of the trip for every traveler, in their presence. Since that is even something which will become a new normal, we plan to change the definition of transportation by introducing our signature experience, the Caravan experience.
In this time of lockdowns being lifted all over the country, traveling is set to resume in a systematic way but we are still unsure of how it will really be, considering the fact that even though the government has allowed the country to get its economy on track by starting services, the threat of catching the novel coronavirus still looms at large for anyone that might come near a single strand of the virus. The question is how will we even know how to travel amidst such doubts?
We have always believed in providing safe unique experiences irrespective of a pandemic being at large. As we say in TTW, a Caravan is a car on steroids that has a place to sleep, cook, has a bathroom, and most importantly can take you places, it becomes the ideal vacation vehicle when the main rule while traveling is keeping your distance from the outside world.
To get an actual feel of the situation out there and how travel will be in the real world in a Caravan during a norm of social distancing, our team along with our founder, Shikhar Chadha, will be traveling to a unique destination amidst organic farms in Jim Corbett. We’ll be going to the borders of Delhi-Uttar Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh-Uttarakhand to get to our destination in a Caravan. The experience will involve our team of travel enthusiasts to gather intel on what is needed to cross the borders, which places are actually open for food or leisure, and whether they are safe or not, how is the accommodation in terms of safety and also comfort, and an answer to the question can we even resume full-fledged traveling at this time or not? The objective of such an excursion is to provide travelers with an insight into what it will really look like to travel in this new world.
We not only aim to resume traveling in a safe manner but also to revamp the definition of traveling in India. By tying up with local communities at remote villages, we not only provide travelers with a safe experience and an insight into a new culture but also empower those local communities by generating jobs for them and keeping their culture alive.
Not only this, but every industry in the world is also slowly moving towards being operated completely digitally eliminating the need for contact completely. Travel has been a bit orthodox in this way. We are currently creating software for our suppliers for digital check-in, housekeeping, room service, payment, etc, to ensure that even the slightest of contacts is eliminated.
Our ultimate goal is to find a way to revive the travel industry by innovation and coming up with a way by which travelers can really stay safe. A caravan is the closest thing to being safe and hence the travel industry’s best bet to uplift the economy and get back on track as soon as possible.
