Thomascook.co.in is a really great travel site for Indians. It’s surprising that this site is from an old economy company like Thomas Cook. I would have thought that they would be laggards where the web is concerned, but they’ve done a fantastic job. There is a wide range of international and domestic holidays, tours, cruises, weekends, flights and more. In effect, one can get anything related to travel here from travel services to foreign exchange and travellers cheques to a global credit card.
The breadth and depth of the site’s other content is also very impressive: in-depth Destination Guides, Maps, tips, weather and much more in the Resources section. Content comes from top providers like Rough Guide, Mapquest, Weather.com. There’s also a Study Abroad Guide, Currency Converter, FX info and an online Trav@zine with holiday ideas and feature articles. The Trav@zine is also available via email to subscribers and is packed with deals and travel ideas. The design is fabulous: simple and consistent navigation and well-presented content. Besides, the search engine actually works! If you’re looking for reliable content and service this is the only Indian travel site for you. With the dotcoms going up in flames every day, the reliability of the Thomas Cook brand counts for a lot. Bravo!
