Railways needs to make following changes to IRCTC website:
Use its IRCTC portal and apps to cater to existing booking with new add-ons like Cab booking, local tour (same day or 2 days), etc,. The repeated trial and errors will ensure IRCTC to capitalise on existing thousands of bookings. Some users will be struggling to book local tours with issue of local language, etc,. Railways may have to spend some of its budget to add these features.
The seats must be available in highly demand routes permanently once scheme picks up. Currently most tours are targeting 7-8 days but 1-3 days tours must be ensured so that people can use their leave allowances atleast to 50% or 2/3rd of their needs.
IRCTC can provide tourist option in home page after selecting from and to station Also for already Pre-booked tickets these options may be used. In apps and in website for already booked tickets irctc has made no effort to provide add-on service using local tour operators. Employment can be generated.
The option will ensure that the following option of choosing transit cab, hotels, food, local tours (2-3), places of visit with option to skip is provided in separate or same portal. No place within India will require 2 days or more for site near railway place. Even if 50% of day gone in transporting from railway station. 2 days must be more than enough to look at a place. Railways must focus on these areas.
Local tour operators will ensure employment to great extent and local cab aggregators can be tied up with or non app based drivers can be linked up to this scheme as well
Since IRCTC website has improved post the recent increase in capacity the above option as add on to existing visitors or direct tourist may be provided.
Those who are travelling purely for using the train will ignore tourist option so no issue but the other area of making tourism as a pillar of service sector GDP growth the above measure will help
Railways must also update its apps so that existing booking get modifications so that new options are available similar to theatre booking to select options of booking for cab, popcorn, etc,. The user will skip those options which they dont want.
Existing airlines and booking sites dont provide add-ons to existing bookings like cabs, local tour packages as part of the same. The local tours should target for 2-3 days and not for 7-8 days for tours within country.
