Klook, a leading pan-regional experiences platform in Asia Pacific, shows that Indian travellers are already lining up their trips for this year-end season by adding an average of 3 experiences per user on its wishlist function.
Until 8 November, travellers who heart their top-pick activities, hotels and experiences, get a chance to win a free experience.
Early planners are building full itineraries
The trend of saving an average of 3 experiences per user in the wish list also shows that Indian travellers are planning ahead and tend to do more per trip. Klook data also suggests that they are saving more items per destination than travellers in other Asian markets, shortlisting full itineraries before they book.
“Year-end is the one stretch when Indian travellers plan with the whole family in mind, and that planning starts weeks before any booking. The wishlist is the honest part of that process. It’s where people save what they would truly love to do, before price or dates come into it. Good travel deals should start from there, so this year-end we decided to offer what people want rather than asking them to settle for what’s on sale,” said Shivam Tyagi, Marketing Lead, Klook India & Middle East.
Tyagi adds, “The moments people remember from a trip are often the ones they planned with care. From island cruises and theme parks to adventure activities and tours, hotels and skyline dinners, we see travellers shortlisting everything, and that anticipation is part of the experience we want to help them enjoy.”
A festive gifting idea: give an experience
With Diwali and the year-end holidays approaching, the wishlist also doubles as a gift guide. Rather than another object, travellers can give the people they love something to look forward to, such as a Ha Long Bay cruise, a Bangkok skyline dinner or a Mt. Fuji day trip. The wishlist makes it easy to shortlist ideas, compare options and share favourites with family and friends, helping them plan thoughtful gifts ahead of the sale.
With special discounts on the most-hearted experiences starting 9 November, shoppers can turn their loved ones’ wishlists into memorable experiences this festive season.
