In an interview with Karishma Vaswani, Business correspondent of BBC News, Rajesh Rataria said that "Couples are being more careful these days", he says. "I've seen a 35% drop in business in terms of expensive honeymoon packages."
"It's not that young married couples aren't travelling, it's that they're choosing less expensive packages."
"Whereas before you'd see a lot of young people head off to the Caribbean or to Europe right after they got married, now people are staying closer to home, choosing Singapore or Malaysia instead."
"Everyone's worried about saving money - no one knows what's in store next year," he said.
