 "hotels, hospitality, Staycations")
IndiGo cancelling hundreds of flights over the past four days has had ripple effects on hospitality companies, especially in year-end tourist-favourite destinations like Goa, Pondicherry, and Kerala, as travellers are increasingly veering towards staycations, observed industry insiders.
“Due to current flight cancellations, there has been uncertainty in the minds of travellers regarding their future travel. For Christmas and New Year, we have seen a 20 per cent increase in queries and bookings for locations within driveable distances, and we expect this to continue rising if flight uncertainty sustains,” Amit Damani, cofounder of luxury villa rental firm StayVista, told Business Standard.
