Delhi leads international summer bookings with a 20% rise in round-trip demand, ET TravelWorld

Cleartrip, the Flipkart-owned travel platform, has identified Delhi as the frontrunner for international departures this summer. As per findings from its Nation on Vacation (NoVac) campaign, 8 per cent of all overseas bookings were made by Delhi-based travellers, the highest share across Indian metropolitan cities.

Popular choices included Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Singapore, with Australia standing out as the preferred long-haul destination for holidaymakers departing from the capital.

A notable trend in the data revealed that round-trip bookings from Delhi were 20 per cent higher than the national average — suggesting more structured and budget-conscious planning by travellers from the city. Additionally, Cleartrip recorded a 5 per cent higher redemption of SuperCoins by Delhiites compared to users from other regions, indicating a preference for strategic savings while planning holidays.

Commenting on the campaign, Tavleen Bhatia, Chief Marketing Officer at Cleartrip, said: “Since its inception, Nation on Vacation has grown into one of the country’s biggest and most eagerly awaited summer travel sales — so much so that it feels like summer truly begins with NoVac’s arrival. We’re thrilled by the resounding response this year and are glad we could deliver great value, helping more Indians take that long-awaited summer break. At Cleartrip, our mission has always been to make travel planning and booking easy, smart and joyful.”

With a combination of curated offers and a user-friendly platform, Cleartrip’s approach has helped make international travel planning more accessible for Delhi residents, allowing them to embrace the season with greater ease and savings.
