Summit Hotels & Resorts has launched pet-friendly accommodations at select properties in Eastern and Northeast India, catering to the rising trend of travelers wishing to bring their pets on holidays. Initially available in locations such as Gangtok, Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kaziranga, and Tashigang, these designated rooms aim to enhance the experience for leisure and nature-based holidaymakers.
Accommodation options include cottages, villas, premium rooms, and select ground-floor rooms. A nominal fee structure for pet stays is being finalized. The initiative reflects a growing demand for personalized travel experiences, with travelers increasingly seeking pet-friendly options.
Sumit Mitruka, CEO of Summit Hotels & Resorts, noted the shift in travel patterns, emphasizing the importance of adapting to guest preferences. The focus on pet-friendly accommodations aims to enhance family-oriented travel, particularly in hill stations and nature-based destinations.
