As Delhi-NCR continues to suffer from severe smog and air pollution, more people are opting for "pollution breaks" to escape the toxic environment. Many individuals and families are choosing to go on vacation to locations with cleaner air, such as Manali, Kolkata, Goa, and Kasauli. The annual spell of smog, caused by farm fires and other factors, has become a recurring problem in the region, prompting people to seek respite from the pollution. Travel companies are also benefiting from this trend, as more people are booking hotel stays and vacation packages in pollution-free areas.
