Students find it to be the right time to travel. They are going to overseas studies with Vengeance says an Overseas Educational Consultant Ms Nirupama Das, CEO of Valmiki Group.
‘Revenge Travel’ is a post-Covid Way of Travelling after several months of anxiety. With normalcy mostly restored, things look up bright for students keen to go and study abroad. Foreign Universities are witnessing an enrolment boom. Together with the freshers, two years backlog students who put on hold their plans due to covid in the last two years are also seeking enrolments. This is resulting in a boom, she said.
