Are you a 20-year-old bitten by the travel bug but unable to figure out a budget trip to Australia? Or a 25-year-old culture enthusiast looking to connect with like-minded travellers over the architecture of ancient Pompeii? You might want to look at bunch of options on Contiki, a popular international travel company that launches in India next week. Established in 1962, the online portal has curated over 270 trips in Europe, Australia, North America, New Zealand, Asia and Latin America. Catering only to travellers between 18 to 35 years of age, the company intends to tap into the burgeoning young traveller market in India, with its launch here. "Over the last year, we have witnessed a growth of 30 per cent among Indian travellers, who signed up for trips with Contiki. The idea behind launching in India is to tap into the Indian millennial traveller market further and also, partner with local agencies to facilitate more Indian travellers to join us," informs Singapore-based Sam Morrah, director of sales and marketing for Contiki Asia.

During European sojourns, travellers can opt for an exclusive stay at a Contiki-owned 16th-century Chateau in France
