Global travel marketplace, Skyscanner, has released findings from its latest research highlighting that budget-conscious travellers in India are eagerly gearing up for summer adventures and are on the hunt for great value deals. To assist them in their quest for savings, Skyscanner has launched ‘Savings Generator’, a money-saving tool, to help Indian travellers save big on their summer trips.
Data from Skyscanner’s latest research, in association with OnePoll, highlights that over 78% of Indian travellers are planning to get away this summer but 39% are yet to book. Furthermore, indecision on dates (51%) and destination (50%) rank as the top reasons why travellers are yet to hit the book button. It’s clear that Indian travellers are on a mission to snag the ultimate bargain with 47% actively seeking out the best deals, and a further 20% waiting for last-minute steals.
Moreover, with the trend of #loudbudgeting sweeping across the globe, 59% of Indian travellers are opting for a more vocal approach to budgeting for their summer getaway this year. Considering these trends, Skyscanner’s Savings Generator can guide travellers to save on flights and get the most bang for their travel buck.
Skyscanner’s data experts have crunched tens of thousands of data points to show travellers how they can make their money go further this year. Savings Generator shows travellers the average monthly price and visualises the best time to book for some of the most popular destinations, alongside suggesting a host of even cheaper destinations.
