With domestic travel rising as it remains easier, safer and more sustainable, as per Booking.com’s ‘Future of Travel’ research findings, 49% of Indian travellers plan to explore a new destination within their home country. The survey conducted by the digital travel platform also reveals that 52% of Indian travellers still plan to travel within their own country in the medium term (7-12 months’ time).
Of these 41% plan to do so in the longer term (in over a year’s time). Srinagar, Digha, Manali, Goa and Alibaug are some of the top trending Indian destinations for Indians travelling from 1st February to 28th February, 2021 as compared to the same time last year.
