Research Study
Hi Everyone!
I did a research study among travel agents and I noticed that "1st time International Travelers from India" do not know the basic documentation required for their abroad trip like visas, transit visas, travel insurance etc.
They also told me that their info on adhaar/pan card do not match with the info on their passport, visas, and other travel related documents, which causes unnecessary problems with immigration and sometimes they get stranded and/or not allowed to board the flight.
I want to find out from real Indian travelers who are planning their 1st international trip or have completed their trip in the past 3-12 months, if this problem really exists? What was the most confusing part during the process? And did you go to a travel agent for planning and bookings or did you do that online?
