Zika has terrified travel industry

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recently warned all the travelers via its Twitter account, to reconsider their travel plans (postpone or cancel), to the areas affected by Zika.

Zika is an Aedes Aegypti mosquito-borne virus which has raised concerns among the travelers and tour operators serving in Latin America and the Caribbean. 

The virus has a huge potential in causing brain damage in innumerable babies in Brazil.

United Airlines have given flexibility to its confirmed passengers, to reschedule their trips to the Zika-impacted places or refund the ticket amount without any penalty or deduction. On the other hand, Norwegian Cruise Line Holding Ltd. and rival Carnival Corp have allowed expectant mothers covered with CDC advisories to modify their travel plan to a later date to shift it to an outside place.

Hilton worldwide Holdings Inc stated that it was working closely with local authorities of health departments to follow CDC prevention recommendations. There is a certain set of travelers who are still pondering upon their short visits to Latin America. Cancellations and rescheduling has hardly happened, so far – a carnival spokesman informed. The impact has been less.

Another set of travelers has shared their grievances on Twitter for not being able to get the amount refunded by the travel agents.

Whatever, be the reaction, Zika it seems that the virus is likely to affect the revenues of the travel industry.

It usually takes place in the month of March. During this time Vrindavan, Hrishikesh and Mathura remain crowded. A special drink called as “Bhaang” is prepared and enjoyed on this occasion.As chemical colours can be harmful for eyes and skin, new organic colours have come to the market that can be used for the celebration.

Diwali: It is also known as the “festival of lights” which marks the victory of good over evil. To celebrate the return of Lord Ram, people of his kingdom had lit earthen lamps to welcome him. On this festival, people in India keep this tradition up by lighting lamps and candles. People also burn fireworks. Since, firework add a lot of pollutant to the air that cause various health issues, a lot of people play safe without burning a single of them.

Families come together and celebrate. People wear new clothes and exchange gifts. Some mark it as an auspicious occasion to buy new things for the house.

Dussehera: It is one of the festivals of India that honours the divine power. It is majorly celebrated in Gujrat, West Bengal and Odisha. On this day, people worship Goddess Durga who represent feminine energy, or shakti. It is a celebration of 10 days. On the tenth day, Ravana, the devil which has 10 heads as described in the mythology is burnt to ashes, marking the fall of the evil.

In north India people fast on these days.

Car Festival: One of the biggest festivals of India that bring a lot of visitors from different parts of the world. It is a festival of Lord Jagannath, and is celebrated in Odisha. The “rath” or the car starts from the Puri temple. There are three cars in which Lord Jagannath; his sister, “Subhadra” and his brother, “Bhalavadra” sit and travel to Bhubaneswar to visit their aunt.

People feel that whoever touches the rope of the car to pull it and make the tour successful stays away from all his sins. It takes place for three days and, of it on one day three of them are dressed in golden attire made up of pure gold. This is worth beholding.

Ganesh Chaturthi:

It is festival celebrated across the country but seen as a prominent one only in Mumbai. Lord Ganesha is a elephant-headed god, son of Lord Shiv and Parvati. His presence marks knowledge and wisdom.

Lord Ganesha is also believed as a mark of good luck and auspicious for beginning a work.  His idols are placed in different places like it happens during Durga Puja, and worshipped. People sing and dance on the songs sung in the praise of the lord. Approx. 6000 statues that are displayed around in the city are immersed on the last day. This is called as “Visarjan”. People hold a procession to get the idols immersed.

Whichever celebration be one’s reason to visit India, one should always check the dates as for Indian festivals, these dates keep changing every year, hence, the Hotel Booking Services in India may become really difficult.

Needless to say, they are worth experiencing.
