Travel is seeing a comeback, but in a new normal, new trends continue to define consumer preferences. From taking life to the road, to consciously and safely reconnecting with the places and people that matter most, Airbnb and travelers predict what travel will look like in 2021. The year of the staycation Guests are seeking unique travel experiences by staying in one-of-a-kind accommodations on Airbnb, but are preferring to be close to home or in their home cities. The staycation trend resonates with travellers, pointing to the perennial human need for new experiences, either for short stays or for stays that are a month or more. With access to quiet nooks in busy cities, close to parks and gardens, immersive natural surroundings and wide-open spaces, travellers are looking for respite from the everyday in accommodations such as condominiums, farm stays, villas, and cottages in places such as: <ul><li>Bengaluru, Karnataka</li><li>Mangalore, Karnataka</li><li>Pune, Maharashtra</li><li>Guwahati, Assam</li><li>Hyderabad, Telangana</li></ul> <div type="image" title="sunset-1139293_1280" msid="78886913" hostid="261"></div> Nearby stays, close to metro to see a rise According to Airbnb search data, guests continue to search for nearby stays that are a drive away from metro cities, to explore a slower pace of life for holidays or for inspiration. Travellers are searching for destinations such as Gokarna, Shimla, Mussoorie, Kasauli and Alibag where they can spend time with family and friends. Guests are increasingly looking at rediscovering the magic in their own backyards. Established destinations as well as hidden gems near metros are seeing interest from travellers fleeing urban life, enlivening local communities on city outskirts.Top spots for nearby stays include: <ul><li>Gokarna, Karnataka</li><li>Shimla, Himachal Pradesh</li><li>Mussoorie, Uttrakhand</li><li>Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh</li><li>Alibag, Maharashtra</li></ul> <div type="image" title="india-232725_1280" msid="78887053" hostid="261"></div> Regenerative travel bringing travellers closer to communities A key trend Airbnb is noting is that as travel picks up again, consumers may prefer immersive and regenerative travel at the heart of communities. Sustainable travel choices that are closer to remote communities and nature not only provide a boost to these communities and their members – redistributing the economic impact of travel – but are accessible and affordable and are a transformative choice contributing to unique and individual travel experiences. In 2021, living remotely will continue to define travel preferences with the rise with travellers aching for more access to open spaces, fresh air, and wildlife. Destinations that are highly searched for on Airbnb, by both inbound and domestic travellers are: <ul><li>Karjat, Maharashtra</li><li>Panchgani, Maharashtra</li><li>Manali, Himachal Pradesh</li><li>Mangalore, Karnataka</li><li>Mukteshwar, Uttrakhand</li></ul> <div type="image" title="manali-1941783_1280" msid="78887078" hostid="261"></div> Many travellers may intend to work remotely in a room with a view in 2021. Entrepreneurs may explore new hubs closer to their businesses or customers. Airbnb has documented stays by entrepreneurs looking for a hub to inspire creativity, digital nomads who aspire to work from anywhere for longer periods of time, and creatives discovering their newest masterpiece. Authors, musicians, artists, and athletes alike are increasingly looking for stays with private spaces and retreating to suburban or rural areas from big cities. With India’s much-loved festival season around the corner, guests are either looking at travelling to their hometowns or spending time together as family. India continues to be travel hotspot, globally With discretionary outbound travel on a slow uptick currently, there are reasons to predict that travel in 2021 will bounce back in India, on both domestic and inbound sectors. Airbnb search data suggests India remains a hotly searched-for destination globally, with the following cities and towns featuring on the most searched-for list. <ul><li>Gokarna, Karnataka</li><li>Kasol, Himachal Pradesh</li><li>Mangalore, Karnataka</li><li>Karjat, Maharashtra</li><li>Panchgani, Maharashtra</li><li>Igatpuri, Maharashtra</li><li>Alibag, Maharashtra</li><li>Haridwar, Uttarakhand</li></ul>Outbound, Indians are continuing to prize locations such as Toronto and London. Commenting on these trends, <keyword id="674162" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amanpreet-Bajaj">Amanpreet Bajaj</keyword>, General Manager – Airbnb India, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, said, “As we come closer to 2021, transparency, trust and safety will be more critical than ever before, and will continue to set the benchmark for traveller expectations. Trends such as travelling closer to cities and working from anywhere will continue to see interest. Importantly, this means that travel benefits more and more local communities economically, rather than being concentrated in tourist hotspots. We truly look forward to a future of travel that is inclusive, sustainable and regenerative.” In 2021, travel will continue to be more about living, working and connecting safely away from home.

<ul><li>Airbnb has on boarded its first Bollywood host. </li><li>The US-based vacation rental company has partnered with producer and designer <keyword id="6368871" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gauri-Khan">Gauri Khan</keyword>. </li></ul>Airbnb has partnered with Indian Film Producer and International Interior Designer Gauri Khan and now, you can stay in Khan’s house in New Delhi. A renowned name in the interior designer world, Khan, who designs the homes of celebrities all over the world, has also redesigned her New Delhi house for Airbnb. In homage to Shah Rukh’s signature pose from over 30 years of Bollywood superstardom, the “Home with Open Arms” campaign will give residents of India a chance to stay in the Khan family’s genteel home. Khan took to Instagram to announce the collaboration. She said, “Our Delhi home is filled with memories of our early days, what we collected over the years and all the things we love as a family! It holds a very special place in my heart. Through my collaboration with Airbnb, a lucky duo will get a chance to be our guest.” <div type="javascript" title="Instagram" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> Located in the leafy neighborhood of Panchsheel Park in South Delhi, the Khan’s home is exquisitely designed in Gauri’s warm, inimitable style. Though the power duo now reside in Mumbai, their Delhi home remains a special place of deep nostalgia as they raised their three children there and continue to use the property when visiting the capital city. Filled with personal keepsakes and mementos from their many travels around the world, the Khan home is a reflection of Shah Rukh and Gauri’s journey together, first as a couple, then as a family. <div type="image" title="Photo Wall in Gauri &amp;amp; Shah Rukh Khan&amp;#39;s Delhi Home_Only On Airbnb" msid="79279706" hostid="261"></div> An oasis of peace in bustling Delhi, the Khan home is marked by bold hues, an abundance of warm, natural light from many windows and an impressive art collection. Richly textured walls, colorful tapestries, and glittering chandeliers cast an inviting glow. Floor-to-ceiling French doors open to an expansive garden filled with flowers of many hues. The most telling design element, however, is a deeply personal aesthetic that captures the family’s many memories over the years. Photographs and knick-knacks line a wall in the master bedroom - son Aryan’s first badminton racket; daughter Suhana’s make-up brushes and the butterflies she collected; son AbRam’s first birthday gift of an exquisite silver mirror and comb; original negatives of <keyword id="1671" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh-Khan">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword>’s favorite film. Another wall is adorned with the handmade cards exchanged by Shah Rukh and Gauri during their early days of courtship. It is these personal touches, more than anything, that make this house such a welcoming place to call home. The 'Home with Open Arms' campaign will offer guests the rare opportunity to relive the nostalgia of Bollywood’s star couple. Launching on November 18, residents of India can apply for a chance to win the overnight stay which will take place on February 13, 2021. The winning duo will experience a curated itinerary developed by Gauri, enjoy a lavish meal at home filled with the Khan’s favorite foods, revel in a movie marathon of Shah Rukh Khan’s favorite films and his biggest box office hits, and receive personalized keepsakes from the family as souvenirs to take home. Speaking about Delhi and their partnership with Airbnb, Gauri and Shah Rukh Khan said, “The city of Delhi holds a special place in our hearts and will always be home for us. Each visit brings back cherished memories of our early days here and we are absolutely thrilled to partner with Airbnb to host guests in our Delhi home. Airbnb has made us feel at home throughout our travels across the world and we are excited to open the doors of our own home through this exclusive partnership.” Commenting about the campaign, Amanpreet Singh Bajaj, General Manager - Airbnb India, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, said, “Airbnb offers unique and unforgettable experiences for guests around the world. Today, we are thrilled to partner with Gauri and Shah Rukh Khan on a very special campaign that offers unprecedented access to their home in Delhi. Fans across generations and geographies have long followed the journey of this iconic Bollywood couple, and this rare opportunity to be welcomed into their home is possible only on Airbnb.” How to book? Gauri and Shah Rukh Khan’s home will be available for an overnight stay on February 13, 2021. In order to apply for this unprecedented opportunity, Airbnb invites guests to share what an “open arms welcome” means to them by 30th November 2020. A winner will be selected by a selection committee including Airbnb and Gauri Khan and will be announced on 15th December 2020.
