<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/50216268.cms" />Hotel aggregator <keyword id="2937565" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Wudstay">WudStay</keyword> has caught the nerve of the working professionals and students and is extending paying guest accommodations. 
 
The budget hotel aggregator is introducing PG and has entered into a deal with around 50 PGs in Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kota. 
 
"A huge section of the Indian population move out of their home cities for work or education and due to the unorganised nature of the space (PG), they find themselves struggling to find decent accommodation for months," Prafulla Mathur, CEO, WudStay, told ET. 
 
WudStay is not new in this unorganised segment as other startups such as Grabhouse and Nestaway are also entering into PG accommodation space, in the back drop of rising rentals of houses and flats. 
 
WudStay, which was founded in April this year, is present in more than 40 cities and wants to increase the count to 65 cities in next one and a half years. 
 
WudStay raised a $3 million funding and also acquired offline budget hotel aggregator Awesome Stays in August this year.

 If you have a pet, planning a <keyword id="20984" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vacation">vacation</keyword> might just be the hardest thing to do, isn’t it? The very thought of leaving your <keyword id="32596" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dogs">dogs</keyword> behind- while they stare at you with their expectant puppy eyes is enough to break anyone’s heart. 
 
As if packing wasn’t hard enough, you also have to deal with all the fact that you’re causing sadness to the one person who loves you irrevocably- your <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=pets&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">pet</a>. 
 
But, what if we told you, it doesn’t have to be this way? What if we told you you could actually carry your pet along on your next vacation? 
 
Are you excited already? Well, you should be. 
 To care of your needs, <keyword id="2937565" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Wudstay">Wudstay</keyword>, the online marketplace for standardised hotels has launched a new category of <keyword id="1091741" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="pet-friendly-hotels">pet-friendly hotels</keyword> aptly titled <keyword id="3307149" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Wudstay-Woof">Wudstay Woof</keyword> after conducting a survey with around 20,00- respondents on how keen Indians are to take their <keyword id="6358374" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="pets">pets</keyword> out on vacation with them. 
 
According to a market study conducted by WudStay in December 2015, approximately 69% of pet owners were keen on taking their pets along for a holiday. However, only 7% admitted to have actually done so. 
 
Understandably, the unavailability of hotel accommodation for pets emerged as the number one reason for owners being forced to leave their animal friends at home. 
 
The study further revealed that the top 3 things that guests expect from hotels include; A pet-friendly room with minimum breakables, hotel staff capable of managing pets and a play area. 
 
Keeping these things in mind, Wudstay pioneered the concept of <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=pet+friendly+hotels&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">pet friendly hotels</a> with their latest initiative Wudstay Woof, allowing guests to bring their four legged guests on holidays with them. 
 Starting with 20 Hotels in the WudStay Woof category, WudStay hopes to make <keyword id="6354692" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Travel">travel</keyword> with pets a more comfortable and convenient experience. 
 
As of the moment, WudStay Woof is present in 6 major cities including Agra, Nainital, Rishikesh, Manesar, Jaipur and Gurgaon. 
 Excited about the move, <keyword id="1707694" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Prafulla-Mathur">Prafulla Mathur</keyword>, Founder and CEO, Wudstay said that extreme care had been taken while identifying Wudstay Woof Hotels in order to ensure that the travel experience is both pleasant and safe. 
 
“Pets are an important part of the family and very often people avoid vacations with the fear of having to leave their <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=dogs&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">dogs</a> at home. With WudStay Woof, we solve that very challenge,” Prafulla added. 
 
Guests can book WudStay Woof Hotels by calling the 24*7 helpline number 9555900500. The hotels will soon be available on the Wudstay website and mobile applications across the country.

There's nothing like exploring a new place in the company of old friends and making memories of a time. 
 <keyword id="2937565" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Wudstay">Wudstay</keyword>, an online marketplace that helps people book budgeted accommodation thought so too, and conducted a survey with 20,000 respondents comprising female and male travelers from 20 to 45 years across the country- so it could figure out the top four places in India that you should be visiting with your friends. 
 
Pack your bags, call your friends. It's time to travel.

These are the 4 best places you should travel with your friends

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/50549845.cms" /> It seems <keyword id="25903" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indians">Indians</keyword> have found nirvana in travelling! Travel portal such as <keyword id="143718" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Yatra-com">Yatra.com</keyword> has seen at least 30% rise in the travel budgets of an Indian traveller over 25% increase in 2014 during the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Dont-end-2015-sitting-at-home-SpiceJet-announces-flight-starting-from-Rs-700-onwards/articleshow/50351784.cms">winter holidays</a>. 
 
“The propensity of Indians to spend on <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Passengers-get-more-optionsto-travel-as-IndiGo-GoAir-and-Spicejet-add-flights-across-the-country/articleshow/50534514.cms">travel</a> has clearly increased with more than 30% people willing to spend above Rs 50,000 as against 25% last year,” said Sharat Dhall, president of Yatra.com. 
 
Additionally, people are increasingly opting for international destinations over domestic ones for short travels. If market players are to be believed then south east asian countries such as Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia have been the international hotspots and saw the same demand as for Goa this holiday season. 
 
Apart from the traditional Goa and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Planning-a-trip-to-Kerala-You-may-have-to-spend-a-few-grand-toget-happy-high-/articleshow/50367400.cms">Kerala,</a> hill station such as Kashmir was the favourite holiday destination amongst <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/SlurpAir-India-to-serve-hot-vegetarian-meals-soon-/articleshow/50334093.cms">domestic travellers</a>. 
 
“Vacationing in winters has become an accepted norm similar to summer travel. We have seen a number of takers opting for not only domestic but also international destinations for their winter vacations. Indians are holidaying more frequently and that’s a trend that has been on an increase over the past few years. Mobile bookings and budget accommodation are two areas where we made tremendous progress in the winter season,” he added. 
 It also seems that globetrotting Indians have taken a cue from their foreign counterpart when it comes to accommodation. With the likes of <keyword id="2550719" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="OYO-Rooms">OYO Rooms</keyword> and <keyword id="2937565" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Wudstay">WudStay</keyword> finding foot in the hospitality sector, budget travel seems to be the most obvious choice. At least 60% of travellers are spending less than Rs 4,000 on accommodation while remaining seem to enjoy the luxuries of star properties or the warmth of home-stays. 
 
The study also revealed Indians prefer to travel with families over spouses, friends or solo. True to the famous saying—Heart is where home is!

Here’s what
Indians did in their winter holidays!
