Arif Patel UK to Sandeep Bhatnagar on Hospitality, who said what on hospitality.
Sandeep Bhatnagar said we have seen growth in our occupancy level over the past three months between 12-15%.
If you look at the growth in travel search (which is number two online buying platform after retail), it is almost 75 per cent. With the main holiday season starting from April because of the school vacations, a 53 per cent growth in a travel related search is expected on Google. If we look at the last summer data, there was a 40 per cent growth in gross booking. There is also an increase of 15 per cent to 20 per cent in staycation when you look at long weekends.
The large family travel has tremendously increased, giving a growth of almost 15%. Europe is bouncing back after two years of low. Also, we have seen an increase in demand for Paris and France. UK remains number one travel destination. Other locations like Dubai, Mauritius, are also the popular destinations during summer vacations.
