With festivals and the coming holiday season raising demand for travel to levels not seen since the COVID-19 pandemic. After the second wave of COVID-19 subsided and travel confidence began to gradually return, the average length of stay was between five to seven nights, with most people preferring destinations located within driving distance. Now, people are willing to plan a longer break of up to 10 days, especially for Christmas and New Year, and take a flight to travel further away.

For most domestic tourists, it is a toss-up between hill stations in Uttarakhand and Himachal towards the North. Mahabaleshwar, Ooty, and beaches of Pondicherry and Goa towards the south.

Online travel agents have also seen a large number of bookings in Goa, Lonavala, and Mahabaleshwar in the West, and Nainital, Mussoorie, Shimla, and Manali in the North. Coorg, Munnar, and Ooty in the South are the most popular.

A recent survey shows that 62% of tourists prefer to travel with family or friends, 20% as either couples or solo and 18% as part of a vaccinated group. We have witnessed a surge across domestic destinations. Not just leisure travel; corporate travel is also gradually picking up.
