How Indians Are Planning to Travel This Easter Weekend

For Indian travelers, long weekends aren't about whether to travel anymore, it's about where to go next. The decision to travel is a given.

With the Easter long weekend approaching this week, travel services company Trevolution Group has witnessed a 45% increase in demand for holiday weekend trips in India, even as value for money continues to remain a priority. There has been a 30% increase in demand for short weekend getaways, Alex Weinstein, founder of Dyninno Group and Trevolution Group, told Skift, noting that travelers are opting for quick domestic flights.

“We are observing a clear trend of Indian travelers leaning towards domestic and regional travel. Many are choosing to explore inland destinations and opt for short international getaways that are more cost-effective," Weinstein said.

For outbound travel, the company has picked up “unusual demand” to destinations like Thailand and the UAE. “This makes it clear that travelers are using Easter break and are coupling it with official public holidays to enjoy slightly longer time off without committing to long-haul travel,” he said.

Slower Inbound and Outbound Travel: Trevolution has noted a decline in booking volumes for inbound and outbound travel. “While previously we were picking up an influx of travelers to India around Easter, this year the demand is a bit more reserved.”

Domestic destinations such as Goa, Amritsar, and Udaipur are witnessing an increase in travel demand f
