 "The author (second from right) with his fellow travellers")
Indian travellers are now seeking skill-based, learning-led holidays driven by their aim to add meaning to their trips.
This has prompted travel operators to offer customised packages to travellers to mix and add leisure travel with coursework.
According to Cox and Kings, this segment is expected to grow annually by 15-20 per cent over the next three to five years. These types of trips generally range from 10 to 12 days to over a month.
Learning-led tourism is still a niche segment, but travel companies like EaseMyTrip and Cox and Kings have increasingly seen travellers seeking learning-based tourism in 2025.
