Global hospitality technology company OYO has reported a 20% year-on-year (YoY) growth in summer holiday bookings. The highest surge came from Coorg, which recorded a massive 480% growth, followed by Tirupati (84%), Vishakhapatnam (82%), and Kochi (77%).

These insights are based on booking trends between April and June 2025 (Q1 FY26), reflecting a strong preference for family vacations and group travel. Religious tourism also emerged as a key driver of bookings.

Travelers opted for short-haul trips to favourites like Shimla, Nainital, Manali, Mussoorie, and Pondicherry. Offbeat destinations such as Chikmagalur, Pachmarhi, Mount Abu, and Lansdowne also gained traction among domestic tourists.

The growth was further fueled by two extended weekends in April, Mahavir Jayanti and Vaisakhi (April 10–13), and Good Friday and Easter (April 18–20). Other key weekends like Buddha Purnima (May 10–12) and Eid-ul-Adha (June 6–8) also saw increased demand, especially across North India.

OYO Total Holidays, the brand’s integrated travel services platform, also contributed to this growth by offering seamless travel solutions. The platform includes strategic tie-ups with airlines, transport services, top-rated restaurants, and certified guides, enhancing the travel experience.

Commenting on the performance, Varun Jain, Chief Operating Officer of OYO, said, “The growth is an outcome of our sustained expansion efforts in key leisure markets and a sharpened focus on premium and family travel segments. With an enhanced portfolio of more than 1300 company-serviced hotels, OYO is well-positioned to sustain this momentum through the upcoming festive and winter travel seasons.”

As part of its summer strategy, OYO also rolled out complimentary stays at over 1,100 company-serviced hotels in popular holiday destinations, encouraging repeat visits and boosting bookings.

This travel push aligns with the government's domestic tourism initiatives by making travel more accessible and affordable. Through its expanding hotel network in tier-2 and leisure destinations, OYO is helping spread tourism beyond metro cities.

The brand’s tech-led booking platform offers ease and reliability for families, solo travelers, and women groups, complementing initiatives like Swadesh Darshan and UDAN to boost regional tourism.

In a significant boost to Ayodhya’s hospitality sector, Ramada by Wyndham is set to launch a new 70-room upscale hotel in Faizabad by July 2026.

Strategically located in the Faizabad Industrial Area along NH 28, the hotel will serve a broad spectrum of visitors, from religious pilgrims and domestic tourists to business travelers. The upcoming property will feature well-appointed guest rooms, an all-day dining restaurant, meeting spaces, a fitness center, and other modern amenities in line with the global Ramada by Wyndham standards.

“It is a privilege to bring the globally respected Ramada brand to Ayodhya, a city witnessing tremendous growth and spiritual significance. This collaboration with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts represents our shared vision to provide high-quality, international-standard accommodation that supports Ayodhya’s tourism and development goals,” said Sonu Sonkar, owner of the new property.

Rahool Macarius, Market Managing Director, Eurasia, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, added, “Ayodhya is evolving into a key destination for both spiritual and leisure travel. Partnering with Mr. Sonkar on this project reflects our continued commitment to expanding in high-potential, culturally significant markets across India. We look forward to introducing the dependable and trusted Ramada experience to more travelers in the region.”
