Sweets, lamps, relatives … everything old? This Diwali is packing your bag, not an Indian house!

There was a time when festivals, especially Dussehra-Diwali used to mean-cleaning for months, making a lot of sweets, buying new clothes and distributing gifts from house to house. But now this trend is changing rapidly. Today’s Indian festivals do not want workload, but relaxes and new memories. And that’s why, now hotels and flights are being booked not at home on festivals!

According to travel companies, there has been such a big bounce in the demand for traveling during this festive season, which is going to break all previous records. People are now looking at the Dussehra-Diwali holiday not just like a holiday, but as a great ‘vacation’.

Why has this big change come?

There are many big reasons behind the trend of this new ‘travel festival’:

• Emphasis on making memories:Now people have started to believe in buying things more than buying things, gaining experiences and making memories. They feel that it is better to stay at home by following the same routine and roam a new place.
• Effect of social media:Everyone’s heart is tempted by seeing pictures of beautiful vacation of friends on Instagram and Facebook. Everyone wants their ‘Instagram perfect holiday’.
• Rising income, changing thinking: Middle class’s rising earnings and new thinking has also given air to this trend. Now people consider spending money on walking, not waste, but an investment made on themselves.

Where are Indians going? (From country to Dubai, everything is in the list)

Interestingly, people are not avoiding only in the country but also from moving abroad.

• Dhoom in the country:Inside India, the first choice of people remain the royal fort of Rajasthan (Jaipur, Udaipur), beautiful beach in Goa and the quiet backwater of Kerala. In addition, cities like Varanasi and Rishikesh are also hot favorite for a spiritual experience on festivals.
• Visiting neighboring countries:In travel abroad, short distance and budget-friendly countries are at the top. Dubai, Thailand, Singapore and Vietnam have the highest demand. In 4-5 days holiday, these countries travel easily.

This trend is not just about walking, but it is an indication that now the definition of celebrating Indian festivals is changing. It is no longer a social responsibility, but has become a chance to recharge himself and recharge itself. So the next time Diwali comes, you may not be packing your suitcase, not a box of sweets!
