“A paradigm shift is occurring in the travel behaviour of urban Indians. Unlike past years, many travelers are now open to impulse travel, which has spurred an exponential rise in spur-of-the-moment bookings. These are generally triggered when people suddenly realize that a couple of consecutive holidays can be clubbed with the weekends for an extended stay in the hills or some other exciting retreat," Burhanuddin Pithawala, Vice President, Conversions, OYO, said.
Solo and couple travellers are predominantly the most significant contributors to bookings received during winter vacations, almost 45%, marking a growth of more than 64% y-o-y in such bookings.
With over 12,000 franchised or leased hotels in its chain, Oyo currently has presence in over 350 cities with over 12,000 asset partners spread across six countries including India, China, Malaysia, Nepal, Indonesia, the UK and UAE in the Middle East.
Recently, Oyo has also launched its services in the housing rental segment under the Oyo Living label. With over 2,000 beds in Noida, Gurgaon, Bangalore and Pune, Oyo Living aims to expand to the top 10 metros by the end of 2019 and will offer over 50,000 beds.
