Thomas Cook Expands in Madhya Pradesh
“Madhya Pradesh is an important source market for us at Thomas Cook India,” said Rajeev Kale, President & Country Head – Holidays, MICE, Visa at Thomas Cook (India) Limited. This statement underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing its presence in the region.
On March 11, 2026, Thomas Cook (India) Limited opened its first outlet in Gwalior, strategically located in the city center. This new outlet expands Thomas Cook’s footprint to six locations across Madhya Pradesh, reflecting the company’s growth strategy in emerging markets.
The Gwalior outlet offers a comprehensive range of travel services, including international and domestic holidays, group tours, personalized holidays, and cruises. It is designed to cater to diverse customer segments, including multi-generational families, couples, millennials, GenZ, and seniors.
Gwalior’s proximity to Delhi has driven demand for domestic travel to popular destinations such as Kashmir and Leh-Ladakh. This trend is likely to benefit the newly opened outlet, which is expected to attract strong footfall due to its strategic location.
In addition to the new outlet, Thomas Cook has also partnered with Booking.com to enhance accommodation solutions for corporate clients. This partnership integrates over 31 million listings across 220 countries into Thomas Cook’s corporate booking tools.
Indiver Rastogi, a spokesperson for the company, noted, “Through our partnership with Booking.com, we are redefining accommodation access—expanding global choice whilst enhancing the compliance and servicing framework that enterprises require.” This collaboration aims to provide wider accommodation choices within company policies and enhanced service support.
Mark van der Linden added, “This partnership is a strategic step in making Booking.com’s extensive global inventory truly ‘enterprise-ready’ for the Indian market.” This move is expected to further strengthen Thomas Cook’s offerings in the corporate travel sector.
Moreover, the outlet’s AI booking platform assists customers in planning personalized vacations in real time, enhancing the overall travel experience.
The launch of the Gwalior outlet represents a significant step in deepening Thomas Cook’s strategic presence in Madhya Pradesh, aligning with the company’s broader goal of expanding its network in key markets.
As Thomas Cook continues to grow, the company remains focused on adapting to the evolving needs of travelers, ensuring that it meets the demands of a diverse clientele.
