New Delhi: TripAdvisor  India, the world’s largest travel site, today announced the results of its Health on Holiday survey conducted across 5800 respondents.

Mapping the holiday psyche of Indians, the survey reveals that people are in the mood for excesses and unrestrained merrymaking on their vacation, with holiday makers sleeping less, eating more junk food, as well as drinking and smoking more.

At the same time 46% respondents acknowledged taking a vacation at a spa/detox/weight loss resort or a yoga/meditation/Ayurveda retreat. This trend was complemented by 49% respondents who also claimed to have taken an adventure/fitness holiday focused on physical activities rather than relaxation.

Nikhil Ganju, Country Manager, TripAdvisor India elucidates, “Our survey has revealed an interesting dichotomy in the behavior of Indian travellers when it comes to health on holiday. While the survey points to a growing awareness and adoption of wellness & fitness holidays; on a regular vacation ‘indulgence’ still seems to be the agenda for most people.”
