Undeniably,India-Australia Cricket Tour Package by Yatra Articles everyone is fancy for watching Sachin Tendulkar, the greatest batsman in the cricket history, to get his brilliant ton and reach another milestone on Boxing Day Test Match which is to be held at MCG (Melbourne Cricket Ground) on December 26, 2011. India’s travel giant Yatra.com has announced yet another travel bonanza of tour packages for Indian cricket fans on this occasion. Now, they will have the chance to see their team compete in Australia’s elite cricket competition.

On the occasion, India’s leading travel portal has come out with yet another exciting offer of tour packages to Australia. Its package tour consists of transport, accommodation, rental car, activities and outings during the spree. The travel company provides information, pricing, availability for domestic flights, hotels, rail reservation, car rentals, buses and holiday packages. However, a bunch of exciting vacation packages to Australia is being advertised and sold together by Yatra.com.

There were no tour packages to Australia last year from Yatra.

But this year, the online travel company has decided to offer six custom-made holiday packages for the cricket season in Sydney and Gold Coast, the popular Australian cities. And interestingly all its tour packages have almost sold out. “We have received about 2,000 to 3,000 bookings from this segment alone,” says Neeraj Dev, Head Outbound Travel Yatra.com. The corporate sectors, much less individuals only are lapping up for vacation packages. They are looking forward to kill two birds with a stone.

To the company, this will leverage the upcoming months to promote MICE (Meetings Incentives Conferences Exhibitions), a travel division of Yatra.com, section among Indian corporate.

Mr. Neeraj Dev, Head of Yatra.com’s Outbound Travels, says “The Fact that is peak holiday season for outbound travel has tripped the scales in Australia’s Favor.” He added, “If the average Indian cricket fan has to go to Australia he or she has to plan 60 days in advance for a trip cost starting at Rs. one lakh to so not many fans are able to book in the spur of the moment and go.”

SOTC, India’s largest outbound tour operator, is also likely to come out with its own tour packages for Australia soon. Mr. S. D. Nanakumar, Head Kuoni India Outbound Division, says “We have floated various packages in the market and would be soon running some radio campaign and print campaigns regionally.” “Demand is mostly from corporate customers who are designing incentive packages for groups around these matches. Retail clients are keener (more keen) to seen matches scheduled during February and March,” he added.

Australia is going to hold the India vs Australia test series between December 2011 and March 2012. On this three-month long tour, India will play the Vodafone test series, the Commonwealth Bank One-Day International Series (Including India, Sri Lanka and Australia) and the KFC International Twenty 20 series.
