Indians say they still plan on traveling - but 9 in 10 in a recent survey said the increased costs of living will influence their plans for 2023. That might mean choosing cheaper destinations or non-peak travel periods, according to a new Skyscanner survey.

  • Furthermore, Indian travelers are increasingly motivated to embark on purposeful journeys that offer physical, mental, and spiritual enrichment.
