“Work had remained crazy, and I decided to drive down to my hometown to the city next-door in Vadodara to spend time with family and reconnect with childhood friends,” Patel said. Foram Patel, another city-based professional, decided to take a break to reconnect with her childhood friends. Breaking away from mundane schedules is indeed a liberating experience,” she said. In a long time, I am taking a long solo trip and I look forward to exploring Turkey and the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia. “I booked my trip in May itself and this holiday season, I am headed to Turkey. Jaimini Rathod, an Ahmedabad-based professor, had been working hectic schedules over the past few months and was determined to take a break by August. Some are also adjusting two more days of leave at work on Wednesday and Thursday to take a longer break as Friday, August 19, happens to be another holiday – Janmashtami. Therefore, people are getting four clear days for a good break, as the Saturday of the preceding weekend falls in the second week. This time, August 15 – the Independence Day - falls on a Monday and is followed by Parsi New Year on Tuesday. Travel industry players attribute the rise to revenge travel sentiment, international destinations opening up borders for tourists and a renewed confidence among tourists who are fully vaccinated for Covid-19 with many of them having taken booster doses too. Estimates by tour operators and Travel Agents’ Association of Gujarat (TAG) suggest that travel bookings for this year’s long weekend holidays have surpassed pre-pandemic levels, rising by at least 20%. While some took advantage of the intermittent leaves from last the week to the coming one and booked themselves a long foreign holiday, others have chosen to plan a last-minute road trip. This long weekend, travellers from Ahmedabad have perhaps done exactly that. Either travel out with friends and family or else, simply enjoy some quiet time back home sinking into a book or binging on movies while indulging in your comfort food delights. AHMEDABAD: Come long weekend and all you want to do is to break away from the rigmarole, pressing schedules and snooze off.
