2017 is the year of long weekends.While you are arranging the last moment things for tomorrow drive to hill station or beach, someone else is actually earning profits. 
 
Companies are buzzing over the long weekend starting 24th February and we're not just talking flights. Road trips are the flavor of holidays, with cab and car rental services reporting an upward swing of bookings and enquiries. 
 
Travellers are now taking short breaks through the year and not limiting themselves one or two big holidays as in the past, which experts believe will help the travel and tourism industry as it ensures that demand is well spread out.

There has been 10%-15% increase in the bookings for this Shivratri weekened and mostly people are travelling to local destinations," said Aditya Loomba, Joint Managing Director, ECO Rent A Car.
