“Travel is what makes our lives memorable.”

But, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with changing travel trends. Destinations and travel styles popular just a few months back fall off the radar, and new trends take their place. Long gone are the days of bulk group tours in large buses and vans. From tech-enabled trips to minimizing carbon footprints to experiencing destinations beyond the mainstream tourist spots, the recent travel trends have impacted the hospitality industry significantly. Here, in this post, we walk you through the top 10 travel trends of 2019, and how it has impacted the way travellers book their stays.

1. Sustainable Tourism

The tribe of eco-conscious, environment-friendly travellers is fast increasing. Most of them are willing to pay more for “green” accommodations that do not harm the local environment and create livelihood opportunities for the local community. Which means hotels that employ local artisans and follow sustainable practices like – wastewater management, rainwater harvesting, reduction in water and energy consumption, using local ingredients in their kitchen – are seeing a huge increase in bookings.

2. The Rise in Solo Travel and Women-Only Travel

Indian women are travelling more and travelling solo. Not just 20-somethings who go on a trip with their girl gang, but older women are increasingly choosing to travel without the family. Mostly because when women travel with the entire family, they feel like, “It’s not a vacation, but just a change in destination.”

To cater to this rising trend, several hotels are coming up with innovative offerings to cater to this breed of women-only travellers. A floor in the hotel reserved only for women travellers, housekeeping done by women staff – are some of the ways hotels are addressing the security concerns of women-only travellers.
