Rise in Hyper-Personalization
Hyper-personalization is becoming central to user engagement in the online travel ecosystem. Platforms are using machine learning algorithms to analyze browsing patterns, past bookings travel duration and budget preferences to offer tailored suggestions in real-time. This trend is significantly influencing the India online travel market share as users increasingly expect experiences that match their specific interests. For instance, in March 2025, MakeMyTrip launched ‘Collections’ an AI-powered feature that personalizes hotel and homestay recommendations. Available in over 30 major destinations it categorizes accommodations based on user preferences, past searches and booking patterns ensuring tailored suggestions for different traveler types from luxury to budget-conscious options. Personalized homepages, dynamic pricing and customized travel packages based on individual behavior are improving conversion rates and customer retention. Some platforms are also integrating user-generated content, social media inputs and peer reviews to refine recommendations further. Weekend getaway prompts, loyalty-based upgrades and trip extensions based on predictive analytics are boosting average order value. As travel becomes more experience-driven hyper-personalization helps platforms reduce churn and increase wallet share.
Increase in Mobile-First Bookings
Mobile-first bookings are redefining how Indian consumers plan and manage their travel. The surge in smartphone usage and affordable data is directly contributing to India online travel market growth making apps the preferred interface for bookings. From flights and hotels to last-minute train tickets and local experiences travelers are completing transactions entirely through mobile platforms. For instance, in March 2025, Country Holidays Travel India launched an innovative travel portal and Hotels & Flights API transforming vacation planning. The user-friendly platform integrates advanced technologies like AI and blockchain for secure personalized travel experiences. It also enhances mobile access and customer support promoting convenience for both travelers and industry partners. Features like instant payment, real-time updates, one-click rebooking, and mobile-only discounts are increasing user stickiness. Travel companies are investing heavily in optimizing app interfaces with voice search, vernacular language support and AI chatbots to serve a broader audience. Push notifications for flash sales and location-based offers further enhance engagement. With digital penetration rising in tier 2 and tier 3 cities mobile platforms are enabling travel access at scale. As app-based services become the industry norm they are expected to create a positive India travel market outlook.
