Marriage counselling in the Maldives? Travel firm launches ‘divorce tourism’ packages
If you’re experiencing marital strife, the thought of sharing your two-week holiday in the Maldives with a marriage guidance counsellor may not be conducive to patching things up.
But if one Indian travel firm’s idea to use holidays to pull couples back from the brink of divorce catches on, the concept could be heading for Britain.
Mumbai-based KV Tours and Travels is offering ‘divorce tourism’ packages where couples are accompanied by a relationship counsellor to encourage them to give things another go.
Despite the fact that India has one of the world’s lowest divorce rates with one in 100 married couples breaking up, it is apparently on the rise.
KV Tours and Travels chief executive Vijesh Thakker, who was inspired by the break-up of a friend’s marriage, said: ‘With divorce tourism, what we’re trying to do is to bring together couples who are heading towards divorce to stop them.
