Hotel Rates in Goa and Other Destinations Expected to Rise Over 40% Post-Diwali
Travel demand in India is rising during and after Diwali despite higher costs, with hotel rates expected to increase significantly. Premium hotel prices, especially in Goa, could rise by over 40%, with villas reaching up to Rs 5.8 lakh post-festival. Mid-scale hotel rates are projected to climb nearly 27% during the extended post-Diwali weekend. Destinations like Goa, Mahabaleshwar, and Lonavala are seeing the steepest price increases, reflecting a longer festive travel window extending beyond Diwali itself.
