Gen Z Loves Solo, Flexible India Trips

India’s young travellers are rewriting the rules. The young travellers are deeply aware of their carbon footprint and actively seek ways to minimise it and prefer eco-friendly accommodations. According to an article by Booking.com, nearly half (47%) of travellers would encourage the men in their lives to go on a men-only trip, with this number rising to 65% for Gen Z and 58% for millennials. 

 

But why do Gen Zs love solo trips?

Digital-first, hassle-free, and mainly deeply personal, isn’t it? Adding to this, the following are the bonus points-

  • Meal-inclusive bookings and redeeming loyalty points.
  • In-app AI trip planners, for crafting hyper-personalised itineraries.
  • Gen Z is drawn to quiet beaches, like the west‑coast coves, misty hill stations like Meghalaya, Kumaon, and spiritual waypoints such as Ayodhya, Amritsar.
