Cleartrip enters into a partnership with Haryana Tourism

Customers can now book conducted tours, activities, and visits to popular sites from Haryana Tourism directly through the Cleartrip website and mobile app.

In a move that highlights its dominating position in the activities and experiences space, Cleartrip, India’s leading travel and leisure platform, has tied up with Haryana Tourism as its exclusive online booking partner for tours and activities in the state. As an exclusive online ticketing partner, Cleartrip will now enable its users to easily discover and book a variety of experiences, including visits to museums, amusement parks and kids gaming zones, recreational activities like boating trips, day outings to Haryana Tourism’s resorts, and visits to the renowned Yadavindra Gardens (formerly Pinjore Gardens), a historic 17th century garden in Mughal architectural style.

As one of the leading OTAs when it comes to both global and domestic experiences, Cleartrip’s association with Haryana Tourism highlights the vast network of partners it works with to deliver matchless services and choice to its customers. By enabling travellers to book their visits to some of the most popular and must-see spots in the state of Haryana online, Cleartrip yet again fulfils its promise of simplifying the entire process of discovering activities and experiences for users aligned to its ultimate vision of ‘making travel simple’. In addition, to promote these activities and experiences by Haryana Tourism, Cleartrip also plans to develop engaging content on the platform and run campaigns to drive awareness among travellers.

Commenting on the association, Ankit Rastogi, VP- Accommodation and Activities, Cleartrip, said, “As an experiences-focussed travel platform, we are always on the lookout for strategic partnerships that can help us enhance our services and drive a superior customer experience. Haryana is a vivid kaleidoscope of diverse landscapes, rich in history as the seat of Indus Valley Civilisation and the war of Mahabharata, showcasing magnificent archaeology and celebrating art and culture. We are glad to be the first OTA chosen by Haryana Tourism as its exclusive online booking partner for activities and tours. Haryana is a much-admired destination among weekend travellers in North India as well, who travel several miles to visit the gardens, forts, palaces and other popular sites in the state. However, the inability to plan these visits by booking them online often leads to inconvenience. The biggest benefit of this partnership will be to our customers, who will now be able to conveniently discover and book a variety of tours and activities online on a single platform, without having to compromise on a pleasurable travel experience.”

Vikas Yadav, Managing Director, Haryana Tourism, said “The aim behind making our inventory of tours and activities available on Cleartrip is to extend greater convenience by bringing ticketing online and ensure a larger footfall of travelers to the state. Our partnership with Cleartrip will facilitate unparalleled convenience to travellers from regions around Delhi/NCR and Chandigarh who want to take weekend trips to some of the popular sites in the state like the Pinjore Garden. At the same time, it will also unlock Haryana Tourism’s vast potential by allowing us to scale our digital reach and cater to mobile consumers through Cleartrip with its massive popularity especially among the increasingly growing segment of tech-savvy Indians.”

As one of the first OTAs to enter the virtual assistance space, Cleartrip also offers travellers the option to choose from more than 15,000 experiences, catering to 200+ interests across 50+ cities, with the help of a vast network of partners and sellers.
