That's because a large number of chartered flights with European leisure travellers that Thomas Cook UK Plc was to bring into Goa will not come in this year. As a result, guestrooms booked in a large number of Indian and international hotels will now have to look for new takers. Speaking with DNA, Aloo Gomes Pereira, chief operating officer - Charters & Goa, Trail Blazer Tours India Pvt Ltd, said, Thomas Cook UK was working with 60-odd hotels so the business impact may not be across the board for hotels in Goa. "We had indirect exposure (to Thomas Cook UK business) in only one of our hotels with very limited inventory. While the collapse of Thomas Cook UK will impact business, Goa hotel industry is hopeful of some support from tourists from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries.
