IRCTC introduces ‘Work from Hotel with Nature’ packages for popular Odisha beaches

Catering to the demands of the remote working population, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has launched a package exclusively for a beach workcation called the ‘Work from Hotel with Nature’. The packages available for booking in hotels have been rolled out for popular beach destinations Puri, Konark, and Gopalpur in Odisha.Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a large chunk of the workforce has started working from home, and a few companies are offering this as a permanent option. Working remotely gives employees the freedom to choose any location with good connectivity as their workplace. As a result, working from exotic locations is in demand as more people look forward to club work with vacations.

This package also aims to make Indians comfortable with travelling once again and slowly bring back the confidence in a post-covid world. These are perfect for those who are fed up working from home and want to relax as well as continue with their work routine.To begin with, IRCTC has introduced packages for a minimum of three nights which can be extended. The three nights and four days package for Puri starts at Rs 6,165 while for Konark it is Rs 12,600 and Rs 19,945 for Gopalpur. These include disinfected rooms, three meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), snacks, secured parking space for vehicle, complimentary Wi-Fi facility, travel insurance. IRCTC assures that strict COVID-19 safety protocols and a high standard of hygiene is maintained. Bookings starting from June 9 can be done online through ‘irctctourism.com’ or the IRCTC mobile app.Notably, last month similar packages were launched by IRCTC for Kerala for professionals working from home. These packages were made available on a pro-rata basis, which turned to be a huge success. After the success of the package, the Indian Railways is exploring more such locations for travellers.

These interesting packages are a perfect way for the modern professionals to mix work with leisure in an environment close to nature.

The packages cover all the crucial aspects and offer disinfected rooms, three-course meals, tea/coffee, complimentary Wi-Fi services, secured parking space for vehicle, travel insurance, stringent COVID-19 safety protocols and high standard of hygiene, among others.
