Manish Kripalani, Managing Director, Baywatch Travels, pointed to a visible change in how Indians are travelling today. “Travellers who earlier took two holidays a year are now taking four, usually two big and two small trips, and importantly, durations have not reduced,” he said. He added that this clearly shows people are spending more on travel and valuing holidays more, keeping demand strong despite changing market conditions.
