Some people are enquiring about flights,” he said, adding that next week too the counter will be open.
The government has allowed travel agencies to open even though travel by air or train are far from normal. In fact, travelling is the last thing people have in mind. Fear associated with Coronavirus seems to have taken the zest for travelling out of common man’s psyche.
With no hope of tourism bouncing back to life for another six months, the travel agencies here have no other option but to “wait and watch”.
“Wait and watch is all we can do. Some day tourism will be restored,” he said with a hint of hope.
