Digital travel platform Agoda shares the top five travel habits of India’s Gen Z, revealing a generation that finds inspiration in the digital realm, embraces spontaneity, and values shared experiences. A recent survey by Agoda highlights key insights into the preferences of young Indian travelers aged 18-27, shedding light on how they are setting the stage for future generations.
Beaches take a narrow lead, but the debate continues: Agoda’s survey reveals that beach getaways and island retreats are the preferred choice for the young generation. While the allure of the Himalayas remains, the ocean wins by a narrow margin, with 26 per cent of Gen Z respondents preferring beaches compared to 25 per cent who favor mountains for their adventures. Millennials in India are more in favor for beach holidays, with 29 per cent choosing serene beaches versus 18 per cent preferring mountains.
