Revenge Tourism: an overview of the phenomenon in India

Abstract

Revenge travel is actually an expression of making up for lost time and that’s what everyone has realized as the Pandemic ravaged our lives. Stepping out became difficult and travel was a distant dream and vacations were missed sorely. Reports suggest that revenge travel made headlines in Asia as early as the autumn of 2020 and now the world is calling it that. Expedia informs us that fifty four percent of tourists planned to spend more that they would have before the pandemic. This possibly is due to the reason that people saved money as they were not really able to spend during the lockdowns and restrictions. A hard -core business traveler is the new face of this revenge travel as he/she has been remotely working and wants to take that airplane as soon as possible. One of the most prominent reasons for this travel was the fatigue that set in when people were confined to their homes during the lockdown
