India’s
domestic tourism sector is experiencing a renaissance, driven by a collective
yearning to explore the country’s diverse landscapes, cultural richness, and
tranquil destinations. As the travel appetite of Indian
tourists shifts from traditional hotspots to more secluded, meaningful, and
immersive journeys, the country’s hospitality industry is embracing this
transformation with tailored offerings and services.
Vishal Vincent Tony, Managing Director, Ayatana Resorts,
highlights the growing demand for off-beat destinations and wellness retreats,
reflecting the evolving mindset of today’s traveller. “The increasing urge to explore off-beat places and looking for more
meaningful experiences are enabling travellers to plan tranquil wellness
retreats, culturally rich escapades, etc. these days,” explains Tony. Ayatana
Resorts, which operates peaceful getaways in Coorg, Ooty, and Goa, has
aligned its offerings with the shift towards remote, quiet, and luxurious
escapes. Tony emphasizes that travellers are no longer just seeking vacations,
but are in search of the “beyond vacation experience”—a deeper, more immersive
connection with nature, culture, and relaxation.
