55% of Indians Plan Winter Trips; Goa, Kerala Top Choices: Report

Around 55 per cent of Indian travellers plan winter trips every year, with Goa and Kerala continuing to be the most preferred destinations, according to a report by Airbnb.

The report highlights that winter travel among Indians is no longer limited to sightseeing alone, with many travellers choosing to travel during the season to unwind, relax and rejuvenate.

Sharing insights from Airbnb’s internal data, Amanpreet Bajaj, Country Head, India and Southeast Asia, said domestic travel demand peaks in regions offering diverse experiences. “This winter season, Goa, Kerala, Rajasthan and the Himalayan states dominate domestic travel interest on Airbnb, owing to their beaches, backwaters, heritage, winter weather and outdoor experiences,” Bajaj said.

The findings underline a growing preference for experiential travel, as Indians increasingly seek destinations that combine leisure, culture and favourable weather during the winter months.
