Leading luxury hospitality players such as ITC Hotels and Radisson Hotel Group are reporting robust demand for domestic leisure travel this summer as affluent Indians increasingly choose destinations closer to home amid geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
While outbound travel continues to remain an important aspiration for wealthy Indian travellers, factors like convenience, predictability and the expanding range of premium domestic experiences are encouraging more travellers to spend their summer holidays within India, top hospitality executives told PTI.
“While affluent Indian travellers continue to maintain strong long-term interest in international travel, near-term geopolitical uncertainty, airline disruptions and elevated travel costs have encouraged many consumers to increasingly explore premium domestic alternatives,” The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts CEO Anuraag Bhatnagar said.
At ITC Hotels, booking trends are running ahead of last year in several leisure markets.
