Many urban Indians will plan a domestic holiday in the next 12 months, data finds
Even though there is an intention to travel in the future, the data shows many urban Indians currently feel they face some barriers to making such trips
Are you planning to holiday somewhere within the country soon? (Source: Pixabay) Even as the pandemic rages on, many Indian travellers with wanderlust are looking to plan some kind of a domestic holiday in the next 12 months, new data has revealed. The data, collected by YouGov’s Global Travel Profiles tool from across 25 countries and shared with indianexpress.com, shows that a little more than half (51 per cent) of urbanites in India plan to holiday domestically in the next 12 months. Despite this local wanderlust, far fewer (20 per cent) plan to holiday abroad next year, and some 15 per cent of people do not intend to travel at all in the next 12 months.
And even though there is an intention to travel in the future, YouGov’s data shows many urban Indians currently feel they face twin barriers to making such trips. Over half (53 per cent) think the health risks of travelling are a barrier, while nearly four in 10 (38 per cent) think the travel restrictions they face are a hindrance to holidaying.
