Airbnb highlights how Indian women are shaping travel trends in 2025

Key Takeaways

• Almost 30% of Airbnb hosts in India are women, with almost 35% of Guest Favourite listings in India hosted by women - showcasing their excellence in hospitality.

• North Goa, Bengaluru, Gurugram, South Goa and Pune were the top-searched domestic destinations for Indian female travelers in 2025.

• Internationally, Dubai, London, Bangkok, Paris and Rome were the top-searched destinations for Indian female travelers in 2025.

Duo travel emerged as the most popular trip type amongst Indian female travelers, followed by group trips.

National, March, 2026: This International Women’s Day, Airbnb is celebrating the growing community of women hosts and travellers who are driving hospitality and travel trends across India. Nearly 30% of Airbnb hosts in India are women, and they manage almost 35% of Guest Favourite listings, highlighting their impact in delivering exceptional guest experiences and shaping local tourism.

Embracing this year’s theme, ‘Give to Gain’, Airbnb recognizes the role women play in strengthening communities through hosting and travel. By sharing their homes, culture and local knowledge, women hosts are creating economic opportunities not only for themselves but also for their communities.

Highlighting Airbnb’s commitment to enabling women entrepreneurs across India, Amanpreet Singh Bajaj, Airbnb’s Country Head for India and Southeast Asia, said “Women who host are not just building successful businesses, but also strengthening local economies and communities. When women share their homes, skills and stories, they create opportunities not just for themselves, but for others around them. In turn, guests contribute to local livelihoods, helping circulate value deeper into communities. When women thrive, entire communities benefit.”

Beyond hosting, Indian women travelers are also increasingly shaping travel trends on Airbnb. Duo travel followed by small group trips remained the most popular trip type amongst Indian women travelers. In terms of destinations, internationally Dubai, London, Bangkok, Paris, Ubud, Amsterdam, Tokyo and Rome were the most searched destinations for Indian women travelers in 2025. Domestically, North and South Goa, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Jaipur, Gurugram, and Pune District were the most searched destinations.

Beyond established hotspots, women travellers are increasingly exploring emerging and culturally rich destinations. Dakshina Kannada and Mathura both recorded approximately 50% year-on-year increase in bookings, signalling rising interest in spiritual, heritage and nature-led travel. Internationally, the town of Kazbegi in Georgia recorded an over 100% year-on-year increase in bookings on Airbnb.

This growing momentum toward emerging and off-beat destinations reflects a broader shift among women travellers toward more intentional, experience-led journeys,  where travel not only creates personal memories but also supports local communities and smaller tourism ecosystems.

Airbnb has also been working to strengthen this ecosystem through initiatives such as the Airbnb Entrepreneurship Academy in Goa, the first of its kind in India. The program equips aspiring homestay entrepreneurs with skills in hospitality, business fundamentals and sustainable hosting, with a dedicated focus on empowering women and supporting rural communities. Many of the organizations in India receiving donations from the Airbnb Community Fund this year also work to advance opportunities for women. 

Sharing her journey, Babita, a Host in Uttarakhand who upskilled through the Airbnb Entrepreneurship Academy, said, “Before the Airbnb Academy training, we were running a homestay without really knowing how. Airbnb taught us important skills like how to register, how to host, and how to share our culture. It gave me the confidence to grow my small idea into a sustainable livelihood .”

This International Women’s Day, Airbnb continues its commitment to creating more inclusive opportunities for women. Through hosting and travel, women across India are helping build stronger local economies while contributing to a more diverse and resilient tourism landscape.

Bangkok-born and globally loved, Nara Thai introduces its delivery experience in Gurugram through an exclusive partnership with Swiggy. With the launch of At Your Table by Nara, guests can now enjoy the brand’s signature dishes at home — thoughtfully prepared and delivered with the same care, balance and attention to detail that make it unmistakably Nara.

The aim is simple: to make Nara Thai’s distinctive flavours more accessible while preserving the integrity and nuance of the cuisine.

The menu mirrors the dining experience, bringing together Nara Thai’s signature and most-loved dishes in a format designed for home. From refreshing salads such as Pomelo Salad and Spicy Raw Papaya Salad to umami-rich small plates like Crispy Betel Leaves, Chicken Satay and Chicken Wrapped in Pandan Leaves, each course builds naturally into the next. Fragrant curries and stir-fries including Chicken Kraprao and Morning Glory form the heart of the meal, complemented by staples such as Butterfly Pea Fried Rice and the iconic Phad Thai. Conclude on a sweet note with desserts like Mango Sticky Rice and Chocolate Crêpe Cake, alongside a playful selection of bubble teas — together creating a meal that feels generous, balanced and indulgent.

Designed specifically for delivery, every element of the experience has been carefully considered to preserve flavour, texture and presentation. Premium, heat-retentive packaging ensures dishes arrive as intended, while fried items and sauces are packed separately to maintain their integrity. Each order is accompanied by Nara’s signature house condiments — Chilli Lime Dip (bright and citrus-forward), Red Chilli Dip (deep and smoky with layered heat), Ajad Sauce (light, tangy and refreshing), and Nam Jim Jaew (robust, herbaceous and gently spicy) — allowing guests to recreate the complete Nara Thai experience at home.

The Studs Sports Bar & Grill Opens Flagship Taproom & Diner in Sahakarnagar, Expanding Its Upgraded Social Sports Bar Format in North Bangalore After Embassy Tech Village Success

The Studs – a social bar built for daily dining, curated drinks and the shared energy of sports.

Bangalore, March 2026 – Following the continued success of its high-energy outlet at Embassy Tech Village and JP Nagar, The Studs Sports Bar & Grill expands further in Bangalore with the launch of its next flagship in Sahakarnagar — an evolved, neighbourhood-first format tailored for North Bangalore’s growing residential and corporate community. The doors officially open to the public from 7th March onwards. 

The Sahakarnagar outlet marks a strategic upgrade in the brands' city journey, building on the loyalty developed at its earlier JP Nagar presence, while introducing a refined, everyday social bar experience designed for habit-driven dining and weekday culture.

Spread across 5,000 sq. ft. with a 130-seater layout, the outlet is positioned as an ideal neighbourhood daily bar — a place to stress bust after work, host casual corporate evenings, gather with family, or unwind over great food and drinks without crossing the city.

With 10 beers on tap, including multiple Craft beers, the space offers one of the stronger tap programs in North Bangalore, complemented by curated cocktails and a menu engineered for repeat visits.

“The momentum we have seen at Embassy Tech Village reaffirmed that people are looking for immersive yet comfortable social spaces,” said Miten Shah, Co-Founder. “With Sahakarnagar, we have taken that learning and evolved it further. This is not positioned as just a match destination — it’s designed to become part of the neighbourhood’s everyday rhythm.”

Abhilash Menon, Co-Founder, added, “Sahakarnagar allowed us to upgrade the format. While live sport remains part of our DNA, this outlet balances that energy with warmth and familiarity. It’s an everyday bar for corporates around the area and a high-energy social sports club for residents — a space that feels just as natural on a Tuesday evening as it does during a tournament final.”

Designed for the Neighbourhood

Unlike traditional sports bars positioned purely around big-match screenings, the Sahakarnagar outlet introduces a balanced social environment. Premium audio-visual integration ensures immersive viewing without disturbing the dining experience.

The objective is simple: to become the default neighbourhood choice within a 3–4 km radius — a consistent, high-energy yet comfortable social space for residents and nearby corporates.

The menu is crafted for everyday dining, featuring contemporary global plates and modern Indian favourites designed for sharing — from Togarashi Lotus and Chilly Plum Babycorn to Truffle Mushroom Potli and Kalmi Paneer Tikka. Larger plates such as Tartufo Mushroom Pasta, Fiery Asian Sizzler, Chettinad Pepper Paneer, Spicy Cilantro Chicken Pizza, The Studs Smash Burger, and Slow-cooked Ceylon Lamb Curry add heartiness, while desserts like Rasmalai Panna Cotta and Dark Matter offer a memorable finish. With interactive gaming elements, curated music programming, and comfortable seating designed for extended sittings, the outlet blends vibrant sports culture with neighbourhood familiarity.

About The Studs Sports Bar & Grill

The Studs Sports Bar & Grill is one of India’s leading sports-led social bar chains, operating 15 outlets across key cities. Known for combining immersive match screenings with strong food and beverage programming, the brand continues to evolve into community-driven formats that balance sport, dining, and everyday social culture.

The Scarlett House Brings World No 3 and The Best of Barcelona’s Bars - Sips to Bombay. In association U’Luvka Vodka

March, The Scarlett House hosts a defining moment for India’s cocktail culture — welcoming Sips, the Barcelona-based bar ranked No. 3 on The World’s 50 Best Bars, for an intimate, one-night-only takeover in Mumbai.

This landmark evening comes to life in collaboration with The Experience India, the Mumbai-based experiential lifestyle and travel platform known for curating immersive, culture-led journeys and bespoke experiences across India and beyond. Renowned for bringing some of the world’s leading bars, artists, and creative talent to India, The Experience India blends global influence with local storytelling to create elevated, community-driven encounters.

As part of its continued vision to foster meaningful international collaborations, The Experience India partners with The Scarlett House to introduce Simone Caporale to Bombay — creating a rare intersection of global creativity and experiential design.

But this is not just a bar takeover.
It is a convergence of philosophies.

Behind the bar at Scarlett that night will be Simone Caporale co-founder of Sips and one of the most influential voices in modern mixology. From his early days redefining cocktail theatre at London’s Artesian to co-creating Sips with Marc Alvarez, Caporale has consistently challenged what a bar can be: less spectacle, more soul; less hierarchy, more human connection.

Sips was founded on a radical yet simple belief — that the future of great bars lies not in intimidation or exclusivity, but in approachability, emotion and precision. 

At Sips, cocktails are stripped of unnecessary ceremony and served with clarity, warmth and intent. The bar rejects rigid counter culture in favour of conversation; technique exists only to serve flavour; and every drink is designed to feel instinctive rather than engineered.

“We wanted to create a place where the guest feels free — free to ask, free to explore, free to enjoy without needing permission,” says Simone Caporale.“Sips is about hospitality first. The cocktail is simply the medium.”

This approach has earned Sips global acclaim, including its current No. 3 ranking on The World’s 50 Best Bars, voted by an international academy of over 650 industry experts.

For The Scarlett House, the collaboration is deeply aligned with its founding ethos of New Age Nostalgia — a hospitality language that blends memory, modernity, and belonging. Scarlett was designed as a home that evolves — absorbing global influences while staying rooted in Bombay’s emotional rhythm. Bringing Sips here is about introducing a mindset, not just a menu. Their philosophy mirrors Scarlett’s hospitality that feels instinctive, warm, and deeply human.

“For us, this isn’t about importing a ‘World’s 50 Best’ moment,” says Fay Barretto, who helms the beverage programme at The Scarlett House. “It’s about exchanging energy. Simone represents a shift in global bar culture — where ego steps aside and hospitality leads. That resonates deeply with how we build our bar at Scarlett. We want guests to feel seen, comfortable, curious. This collaboration feels like a natural conversation.”

On 8th March, guests at The Scarlett House will experience Sips as it exists in Barcelona — no reinterpretation, no dilution.

The confirmed cocktail selection includes:

Toreador

A striking orange-hued cocktail that balances brightness and depth — bold, structured, and quietly expressive.

Espresso on Steroids

Vodka, intense espresso, maple, and a delicate coffee air — a high-energy reinterpretation that reflects Sips’ playful precision.

Tommy’s

Tequila layered with strawberry and agave — fresh, vibrant, and deceptively complex.

Pritish Matai, CEO Aspri Spirits said we are delighted to partner with Sips and Scarlett House. This association reflects our shared commitment to delivering exceptional experiences, and we look forward to nurturing this collaboration into a strong and enduring relationship in the years ahead.

Each drink will be personally crafted and served by Simone Caporale, offering Mumbai a rare, unfiltered glimpse into one of the world’s most influential bar philosophies.

The evening is proudly supported by U’Luvka Vodka, whose own legacy of craftsmanship mirrors the precision and quiet complexity that define Sips.

Centuries ago, in the royal courts of Poland, the alchemist Sendivogius crafted a spirit worthy of kings, pure, harmonious, and potent enough to be hailed as a royal elixir.

A rediscovery of this recipe, U’Luvka continues that legacy with the same devotion to mastery. U’Luvka is methodically distilled using carefully chosen grains grown in Poland, selected to produce a complex and flavourful spirit. Our water is drawn from deep aquifers and refined through reverse osmosis to create a velvety signature smoothness. Through thoughtful distillation and a specific filtration process designed to preserve the full aromatic and flavour complexity, the result is a vodka that is expressive yet balanced, soft, rich, and refined in every sip. 

U’Luvka embraces a more expressive path than the neutral profiles typical of the category. Creamy notes, subtle sweetness, and delicate grain spice linger on the palate, elevating its velvety texture and offering a depth rarely found in traditional vodkas. 

This expressive quality reflects the symbolism woven into the brand itself: the U’Luvka logo fuses alchemical forms representing the masculine and feminine, friendship, love and pleasure, a modern emblem of unity, connection and transformation. 

The result is a spirit that doesn’t simply reflect Polish heritage; it redefines it for the modern era. Refined, balanced, and unmistakably alive with character, U’Luvka is crafted for those who appreciate the beauty of restraint and the art of quiet complexity.

The Sips takeover marks one of several global collaborations planned at The Scarlett House, as the venue continues to build a calendar that brings internationally acclaimed chefs, bars, and creative minds to Bombay — always with intention, intimacy, and cultural relevance.

Scarlett is not chasing trends. It is curating conversations.

Ancient Indian Cooking Techniques That Elevate Today’s Grilling

Grilling can be interpreted in recent times to be an international fad, like anything else.... The concept of grilling and everything that goes with it (cook with heat, add smoke from flame, heat slowly with wood) was devised in India thousands of years ago by trial and error from our ancestors.

The methods of cooking used in Ancient Indian kitchens influence today, and have always been a part of cooking, giving us the special flavours, fragrances and textures of cuisines in every region of our world says Chef Sumanta Nandi, Head Chef, SAFAR by Karimi in Cupertino California.

Tandoor – the First-Generation Grill
It is undeniable that prior to the establishment of charcoal grills and steel gas grids, the Tandoor Grill was the world’s first high-temperature cooking device. The Tandoor, which uses clay, can be heated with coal or firewood, and cooks between 450C and 500C (between 840F to 1,000F). This extreme heat creates a very high kinetic energy for the meat and bread (naans) cooked inside the Tandoor, allowing the meat and bread to develop a crusty exterior while retaining moisture in the middle. The unique smoky aroma and flavour are only available from cooking with a Tandoor, thus today’s cooking devices cannot reproduce that flavour.

Dhungar – The Process of Smoking Food
Long before the invention of modern day smoker boxes and smokeless charcoal grills, Indian chefs perfected the technique of infusing food with smoke using dhungar. This technique involves heating a piece of charcoal until it is bright red, placing it in a bowl and adding (pouring) ghee or spices to the charcoal, which releases aromatic smoke. The bowl is placed over the top of the dish being prepared; the smoke from the charcoal gets trapped inside the dish as the dish is sealed. This infuses the dish with the full spice and charcoal flavour from the ghee and spices that were added to the charcoal.

Sigdi Cooking - Cooking Slowly over Low Heat Creates Rich Flavours
Sigdi, the traditional Indian charcoal cooking stove, provides the first example of a way to control cooking temperature over an extended period of time. Unlike tandoors that produce intense heat, sigdi allows for steady and lower temperatures. Cooking over this type of temperature allows the spices to fully bloom and flavour the marinade and the meat by allowing for even heating while the meat stays moist. Today’s grillers have embraced the benefits of slow cooking and have duplicated the slow and low technique of a sigdi by using smoker grills and low-and-slow BBQ methods. The same results are achieved through the combination of patience and precision and produce incredibly tender and rich in flavour meats.

Marinating with Ancient Wisdom
Marinating has been practiced in India for millennia as a way to tenderise & flavour meats. The product created using yoghurt is a natural enzyme that helps to maintain the integrity of the meat whilst also providing a more succulent texture. The various spices used in the marinade (turmeric, cumin, garlic, ginger, etc.), not only enhance the taste of the meat, but they also have medicinal & digestive properties. The use of marinades in modern grilling is still common, with many people using marinades to produce moist food which layers on flavours.

Cooking in Banana Leaves and Clay
Cooking with banana leaves & in clay pots is an ancient practice in India. Both methods were originally created to trap steam Cooking with banana leaves imparts a mild sweetness & earthy scent and it keeps the food from drying out, much like the process of foil grilling, but producing a richer end product. Clay pots radiate heat evenly and impart mineral qualities to the food cooked within them. Both of these methods are examples of steam-grilling or trapping heat, allowing the ingredients to steam in their juiciness.

Ancient Indian cooking techniques have demonstrated that the best grilling is not only based on heat; it is also about knowing how to use smoke, flavours & time. Today, as many kitchens around the world are being inspired by different cultures, these techniques will continue to help enrich the griller’s experience, adding more depth, aroma, & tradition to the process.

GuestEzee with Contactless Check-In is Powering the Next Generation of Smart Hotels Worldwide

Hospitality has always been about experiences, but in today’s fast-moving digital world, experience begins long before a guest steps into the lobby. Modern travellers expect instant confirmations, seamless access, personalised services, and effortless communication. At the same time, hotel operators are managing rising operational costs, staffing pressures, fragmented technology systems, and the constant demand for better reviews and stronger loyalty. The industry does not just need another software solution. It needs a smarter, unified system built for the realities of today. GuestEzee with Contactless Check-In answers that need.

Developed by GuestVento Technology Pvt Ltd, GuestEzee is a global, cloud-based Guest Management System designed to transform how hotels operate and how guests experience their stay. It is not positioned as a single feature application or a limited operational tool. It is built as a complete digital ecosystem that connects guests, staff, and management on one intelligent platform.

Across global hospitality markets, many hotels continue to function with disconnected systems. Property management software operates separately from POS systems. Door lock access remains dependent on physical cards. Guest feedback is collected manually or too late to make a difference. Housekeeping coordination relies on phone calls and fragmented communication. These inefficiencies cost hotels more than time. They impact revenue, reputation, and repeat business.

GuestEzee brings all essential functions together into one seamless structure. With fully integrated contactless check in, guests can complete arrival formalities digitally and access their rooms using mobile key technology. The elimination of long queues and physical dependency instantly elevates the arrival experience. However, the platform goes far beyond entry.

Through a unified guest interface, visitors can order in room dining, request services, receive curated upsell offers, and provide instant feedback. Every interaction becomes smooth, intuitive, and personalized. For hotels, this translates into stronger guest engagement and increased average revenue per room. Built in upselling capabilities allow properties to present relevant services at the right moment, turning convenience into profitability without disrupting the guest journey.

Operationally, GuestEzee empowers teams with real time coordination. The staff interface enables structured housekeeping, f&b and front office workflows, maintenance tracking, and immediate complaint resolution through an automated escalation matrix. Management gains access to a comprehensive dashboard featuring billing, operational visibility, and performance analytics. Instead of working reactively, hotels can now operate with proactive intelligence.

As a subscription driven SaaS platform priced per key per month, GuestEzee offers scalability for mid scale and premium hotels seeking modern transformation without complex infrastructure investment. Its cloud first architecture ensures quick deployment, remote accessibility, and seamless integration with PMS, OTAs, POS systems, and digital lock technologies. The result is a connected ecosystem that eliminates silos and simplifies technology adoption.

Guests demand speed, personalization, and transparency. Operators demand efficiency, visibility, and revenue growth. GuestEzee with Contactless Check-In brings these demands together into one powerful solution.

As digital transformation becomes the defining factor of competitiveness in hospitality, GuestEzee is not just participating in the shift. It is helping lead it.
