2020 was a bad year for travel companies, especially for the ones that got launched that year. The year has officially been declared as the worst year for Global Tourism! The list of travel related companies that shut down is long and the situation seems to be very depressing. But 2020 also saw changes being brought into the tourism industry. More people now want to focus more on offbeat, experiential travel rather than visiting tourist spots. Quality is taking precedence over pricing. And travelers now seem to favor road tripping over taking flights!
Taking note of these new travel trends, a new niche travel startup, Moto Overlanders was launched during the pandemic and looks at delivering experience rich holidays for travelers. Focusing primarily on Indian destination, Moto Overlanders specializes in SUV and Motorcycle tours across North East India, Sikkim, Uttarakhand, Ladakh, Spiti and South India.
