- Anagh Pal

Indians are looking to spend more on travel and experiences than ever before. A recent survey by travel search engine Kayak revealed that 38 per cent of Indians prefer to spend money on travel, even more than on other activities like shopping and food. The data also indicates that with summer around the corner, 16 per cent of Indian holidaymakers are planning to spend over `3 lakh for their summer travel and 45 per cent plan to spend at least `1 lakh.

Indians today not only seem keen to explore new destinations but are also ready to spend on those experiences. Says Amit Taneja, Chief Business Officer – International Markets, Cleartrip. com, “Summer and trips go handin-hand. International is clearly a big theme for the upcoming summer travels with the growth in bookings being over 40 per cent as compared to last year, despite an overall fare increase of six per cent.”
