KOCHI: Gulf Air has launched a dedicated holiday programme to India, targeted mainly at destinations in Kerala. Named "Indian Experience", the package would provide flexible packages so that travellers can suit their individual requirements. Mark Senior, a manager of Gulf Air, said the airline was the first Arabic airliner to launch a holiday programme to India. At a function to launch a brochure for the programme here Thursday, Senior said: "We expect Kerala to be the target destination. "About 50 percent of the travellers are expected to visit Kerala. The other destinations are - Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai." He said 50,000 copies of the new brochure would be distributed all across the Middle East. "We would be flying the India-bound tourist from the Middle East on our airlines. We expect the crowd to be a mix of expatriates, including Arabic women who are interested in the Ayurvedic package," said Senior.
