It could cost almost as a mass-packaged tour holiday or could be a premium priced holiday. Whatever the category our holiday intends to use your money wisely to give invaluable me time and not mee too time to our wonderful women,” says Sonal.

Formally incorporated in 2017, the firm instantly appealed to women. They not only loved the name 'Mee Time', but were also mesmerized by the concept of the firm. Going into the future, Mee Time is looking at Mom and Child holidays and Theme Holidays which will focus around families. Mom and child holidays would include mom-kid friends’ group who could take the kids to amusement parks and the moms on a wine tasting or tea tasting visit on the same day. The firm's Theme Holidays will be curated with the notion of delivering me-time for the families where the whole trip will be designed around an activity that the whole family enjoys such as the Harry Potter theme holiday or they could explore all the 'Game of Thrones' locations in the world.
