Surge in Domestic Travel Bookings for Holidays

News summary

As India approaches the Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan long weekend, travel and hospitality sectors are experiencing a significant surge in demand, with domestic bookings increasing by approximately 340% year-over-year according to Airbnb. Popular destinations include Goa, Lonavala, Mumbai, and Udaipur, reflecting a strong preference for easily accessible domestic travel over international trips. MakeMyTrip's data indicates a notable rise in bookings across all sectors, driven by the extended holiday period and the proximity of Rakhi to the weekend. While southern cities show significant growth, interest in northern hill stations has declined due to weather conditions. This trend highlights a shift in traveler preferences towards local experiences, as many seek to maximize their time off with enriching domestic getaways.
