After almost a gap of two years, students are returning to schools and universities and as per India’s biggest online travel platform MakeMyTrip, there has been a 60% increase in searches and bookings from and for students in the first two weeks of February over previous weeks.
The company said nearly 80% of these searches are for travel within the next fortnight signaling a gradual increase in bookings for immediate travel. In the coming days, as more institutes across the country announce resumption of offline classes, the booking window is expected to shorten further – with many students booking tickets within a few days from the date of travel, the company said.
