Nikhil Ganju, Country Manager, TripAdvisor India said”A holiday, especially planned around Valentine’s Day is a great way to rejuvenate the romance in a relationship. Over the years as Valentine’s Day has gained popularity across India, we see an increasing number of Indians planning a break around it whether within or outside the city. It is also encouraging to see that that majority of the respondents to our survey are not deterred by threats from certain organisations and will continue with their celebrations as planned.”
