Indian travelers are facing higher costs for international vacations this summer, with rising hotel rates and a weakening rupee causing a 15%-20% increase in expenses. Europe and Southeast Asia have seen the most significant price hikes, but Indian tourists remain keen to visit exotic destinations. To adjust to the rising costs, tour operators are passing on the additional expenses to travelers by increasing their package prices.
Travel costs for the April-June period have risen 15% to 20% compared to last year, largely due to the depreciating rupee and higher hotel rates. European destinations have been hit hardest, with Southeast Asia also feeling the effects. Despite the price surge, many Indian travelers continue to book trips abroad, undeterred by the higher expenses.
