How are Indians preparing for travel?
Earlier this month, Atlys reported a significant uptick in visa applications for Paris, with a nearly 40% increase in active travel listings on the platform. This surge reflects the excitement surrounding the Olympics and the growing desire for international travel among Indians.
According to Atlys, the top travel picks for Indians include the UAE, the United States, and Thailand. “When it comes to favourite destinations, Indian travellers often head to these countries, which offer a mix of luxury, adventure, and cultural experiences. Whether it’s the shopping malls of Dubai, the vibrant streets of Bangkok, or the iconic landmarks of New York, there’s something for everyone,” the company said.
