Pranav Kapadia, Founder and Director, Global Destinations, highlighted a decisive shift in Indian travel behaviour towards curated, experience-led journeys. He noted that travellers are increasingly opting for wellness, slow travel, and purpose-driven itineraries, with solo and women travellers emerging strongly. On average, Indians now take two to three holidays annually, while outbound demand continues to rise alongside a 25–30% increase in per-trip spending over five years.
