Bhubaneswar: ‘Jagannath Dham’ Puri emerged as India’s top pilgrimage destination in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which noticed stringent lockdowns and slow unlocking of services.
This was revealed in the findings of OYO Travelopedia 2020
The coastal district of Odisha pipped Vrindavan, Tirupati, Shirdi, and Varanasi to take the top spot within the year wherein hospitality was badly hit worldwide amid global restrictions.
Whereas Delhi saw the most bookings across the world in 2020, December 2020 emerged as the month that witnessed the most demand around the holiday season with the unlocking of cities. Most Indians picked the long weekend of October 2 (Gandhi Jayanthi) and Christmas weekend for travel and holidaying, it stated.
Goa, Kochi, Vizag and Puducherry had been the most-booked beach destination, whereas the northern cities of Jaipur, Udaipur, and Agra had been the most-loved heritage cities for Indians.
Interestingly, a single person stayed at OYO hotels 128 times in 2020, it added.
