Places to Go!

A few years back, an international vacation meant a visit to New York City or London, combined with visits to offshore friends and relatives in these major metropolitan cities. However, preferences are changing for the Indian traveller, and it’s fair to say that Indian’s want to explore territory they have never explored before.
The Mediterranean region on the coastline is especially popular among high-flying Indian vacationers. Reviews and recommendations on the leading luxury blogs and in luxury magazines in India; suggest that vacationing in Skíathos in Greece, or an extended stay at the St Regis in Maldives are some of the popular choices among Indian holiday goers.

A Goa holiday, or a Shimla visit is often relegated to the status of a weekend getaway. However, when vacationing for longer durations of time; Indian’s prefer to traverse the path less travelled and many make their way to the Mediterranean coast.

Where to Stay!

When it comes to accommodation; the Indian traveller is far more discerning than before. For those with deep pockets; a basic hotel just won't do, and travel agencies around the country are seeing an uptick in the demand for luxury resort and 5-star accommodation among Indian travellers.

Going through luxury magazines will give anyone a fair idea of the available luxury accommodations in any destination of choice. Indian’s are now in tune with hotel reviews and popular recommendations, to ensure that their vacations go off without a hitch.

Things to Do!

The Indian traveller is now more open to adventure and expenditure while travelling abroad. Indian’s do contribute to the economy of tourist destinations by shopping, clubbing, eating out, and more.
