Trends
Travel and tourism is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. Indian domestic travel and tourism market is estimated to be $ 17 billion in 2014 according to a study by Government of India. The market share of online holiday booking in India has been increasing progressively. The industry has been growing at around 20% year-on-year. While the travel industry was growing at fast pace, the alternate accommodation properties where left behind due lack of visibility. When most alternate stay properties were operating at very low occupancy rates, shortage of hotel rooms in India were driving hotel prices high and forcing travelers to re-schedule their plans. All these factors drove StayBazar to build an online market place for various alternate stay options for individual, family and corporate customers.
