Domestic Travel trends in India in the year 2017
It has been over 2 months since the demonetization of the Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denominations. Many financial experts are of the opinion that this revolutionary step would bring in many long term benefits for the Indian economy. However in the short term many sectors of the economy have been hit hard by the step. This also included the hospitality and travel sector as well. Many Indian travellers avoided overseas travel and preferred to explore lesser known domestic destinations instead. As new currency notes are being pumped into the economy and as digital modes of transactions are being encouraged, the economy is slowly but surely getting back to normal.
Being in the travel industry we at Hotel Santiniketan Digha thought it would be interesting to have a look into the domestic travel trends in the country for the New Year.
Domestic travel trends in India
India is a favourite destination for both inbound and domestic travelers. In the state of Karnataka, Coorg is set to attract large number of Indian travellers especially between the months of November and April. When it comes to evergreen destinations, travel experts feel that Goa will continue to be in trend in 2017.
Rajasthan has been one of the most popular tourist destinations in India, especially amongst foreign tourists. This is another destination that will be one of the top hot spots for Indian travelers in 2017. The state is indeed rich in most of the aspects of tourist attractions. These include food, culture, heritage, wildlife and scenic places. Rajasthan has recently been highly popular amongst the youth with music festivals. This is why some of the biggest one being Magnetic Fields, taking place in the state.

Jaisalmer is a town which is in the midst of the Thar desert. Jodhpur is also known as the sun city and Udaipur happens to be the city of lakes and beautiful palaces.
Domestic destinations saw an upsurge of 25 per cent in 2016 and we are sure of it soaring even higher in 2017. However, surprisingly West Bengal too has seen an upsurge in foreign tourism in recent years. This has been on account of the various steps being taken by the state tourism department. These initiatives include everything from promoting adventure sports in Digha to plans to bring in houseboats in this beautiful beach location.
