OYO Travelopedia 2020: Bookings surge from Middle East
More than 73,000 repatriated Indians had completed their institutional quarantine at OYOs across India, with most bookings coming from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Qatar.
However, the grim reality remains that the hospitality segment was one of the worst impacted worldwide. A silver lining, even so, points to the truth that India has topped the charts for OYO as the most booked nation as soon as cities started unlocking. Clearly, affordability is emerging as a crucial element of customer spending when it comes to travel and hospitality.
The icing on the cake is that December 2020 tops as the month which is witnessing the most travel demand throughout the vacation season.
