“Indian travelers are increasingly seizing every opportunity for leisure travel, and the upcoming Holi long weekend provides the perfect occasion for this. The demand for premium stays remains strong, with booking share of properties priced above INR 4,500 per night rising as compared to last year.
Bookings for accommodations in cultural hubs like Jaipur and Udaipur, temple towns such as Amritsar, Varanasi, Ujjain, and Madurai, and beach destinations like Pondicherry, Alibaug, and Mandarmani show steady growth. Drive-cation destinations such as Jim Corbett, Rishikesh, Mussoorie, Mahabaleshwar, and Coorg are also experiencing strong demand.
Internationally, we are observing the highest growth in short-haul destinations like Vietnam, Malaysia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. The increase in short-haul travel can be attributed, in part, to the conclusion of board exams in many parts of India.”
