Hyderabad: As travel restrictions in India loosen, new research commissioned by Airbnb in India demonstrates a shift towards an increased demand for flexible travel, nearby stays, and longer trips that allow guests to combine work and leisure – and ultimately, to live anywhere.
An overwhelming 73 per cent of Indian travelers are looking at an expanded definition of ‘business travel’ – from traveling for business, to travelling for leisure while working remotely.
About 87 per cent of Indians are now planning to work while travelling/living elsewhere. 48 per cent of Indian travelers see travel as an integrated part of their life.
The survey was conducted by YouGov between 12 and 19 October 2021 with a sample size of over 1,000 Indian respondents.
New upgrades at Airbnb

“To offer even more reassurance to our existing four million Hosts, and make it even easier for new Hosts to take that first big step, today we are introducing AirCover,” Chesky said adding AirCover provides protection for every Airbnb Host with $1 million in damage protection and $1 million in liability coverage.
