Skyscanner Sees India as Largest Market with Shift Toward Experience-Based Travel
Skyscanner India has become the platform's largest market globally, with Indian travellers driving significant growth in monthly visitors and flight searches. Indian travellers increasingly prioritize cultural experiences such as festivals, heritage, and cuisine over specific destinations when planning trips. Skyscanner has adapted by introducing AI-powered tools and features like 'Explore Everywhere' to help users discover trips based on interests, budgets, and travel dates rather than fixed locations. This shift reflects a broader change in travel behavior among Indians toward experience-focused tourism.
