“The evolving travel preferences in 2024 painted a fascinating picture of India’s diverse tourism landscape. We observed a harmonious blend of leisure destinations like Goa, Kerala, and Manali, which continued to see sustained growth, while spiritual destinations such as Katra (Vaishno Devi) and Ayodhya emerged as the fastest-growing segments.
