Hyderabad was the most booked city in India among travellers, followed by Bengaluru, in 2023, according to a report by hospitality major OYO. Among states, Uttar Pradesh was the most visited, ahead of Maharashtra, it said.

2023 stood out as a distinctive year for the travel industry, representing a potential return to complete normalcy after the challenges posed by Covid-19, according to Shreerang Godbole, global chief service officer, OYO.

“As remote working and flexibility declined, travellers sought to maximise their vacations and extended long weekends this year. However, the pandemic-induced trend of exploring domestic destinations continues to dominate. Globally, leisure destinations are at the forefront of travel growth, and in India, we also observed a noteworthy contribution from business travel,” he added.
