The most recent OYO Cultural Travel 2022 Roundup Report demonstrates that religious fervour is what is fuelling India`s travel resurgence. According to the survey, Tirupati, Puri, Amritsar, and Haridwar are the next most popular religious destinations for travellers in India after Varanasi. Shirdi, Rishikesh, Mathura, Mahabaleshwar, and Madurai are some other popular spiritual tourist destinations in India, and they have seen the most spike in bookings over the past year, along with these cities.
Varanasi is a renowned pilgrimage destination in India for both Hindus and Buddhists, which explains its appeal to tourists travelling for religious reasons. Many tourists are now looking forward to seeing rich cultural places, lesser-known locations, royal palaces, and spiritual or wellness destinations due to growing interest in community experiences around India. This year`s festive holiday season has led to some interesting revelations from the global hospitality technology platform OYO about pilgrimage and spiritual tourism in India. According to OYO`s insights into booking data, August saw the greatest demand for pilgrimage locations.
