Co-founder and group CEO of MakeMyTrip Rajesh Magow stated, “The five-day holiday bonanza, enhanced by the festival of Rakhi falling closer to Independence Day weekend compared to last year, has contributed significantly.” He added that, generally, the weather is causing a decline in interest in hill locations in the north and a significant increase in cities in the south.

Similarly, as India got ready for Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan’s long weekend, Airbnb reported a notable spike in interest in travel in its most recent search statistics. “Domestic searches for Airbnb stays increased by approximately 34% year over year during the Independence Day and Raksha Bandhan long weekend,” the research said.
