“In the ongoing lockdown period, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd. (IRCTC) has launched exclusive packages for professionals to continue with their work with a different, yet refreshing and soothing ambience from the comfort of hotel rooms, wherein they can relax and enjoy along with their routine,” the statement said. “Working away from the typical office setting has become the new normal during these pandemic times. Professionals can pick their favourite destination in Kerala among the list of hotels offered under ‘work from hotel’ concept,” it added.

To start with, professionals can choose among Munnar, Thekkady, Kumarakom, Marari (Alappuzha), Kovalam, Wayanad, and Kochi, the statement said.

The duration of package would be for a minimum of five nights which can be extended on prorate basis. Similar packages for other locations are also being explored, it said.
