Western & Oriental has launched a series of city breaks to India following the introduction of electronic tourist visas to the destination.


The operator has added breaks to Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad, but will also work with agents to create tailor-made options for clients. India product manager Nikhil Chhibber said: “The process of obtaining a visa for India is


now simpler, quicker and more affordable, which opens the destination up for late bookings and the short-break market. “A flight to Delhi is less than an


hour longer than one to New York and 90 minutes longer than a flight to Dubai. “Both of those destinations are popular for short getaways and our city breaks will enable India to viably compete as a vibrant and culture-rich option for the same market of spontaneous bookers.” The four-night Delhi


Weekend City Break features accommodation at The Imperial


DELHI: One of three destinations


Hotel, a chauffeur-driven private car and a visit to a local family to learn about north Indian cooking. The e-Tourist visa service,


introduced for British and Irish travellers last month, allows applications to be made online up to four days before travel. Prices start at £799, including


flights, for four nights in Mumbai. westernoriental.com
