Growth in Pilgrimage Travel Accommodation Bookings

Accommodation bookings for pilgrimage destinations have witnessed a notable 19% increase across 56 cities during FY24-25, with 34 cities achieving double-digit growth. This surge reflects a transformative phase in the way spiritual travel is evolving, impacting both the tourism landscape and accommodation sector.

Trending Pilgrimage Destinations

Traditional spiritual centers such as Prayagraj, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Puri, Amritsar, and Tirupati remain key magnets in the pilgrimage circuit. However, emerging destinations like Khatushyam, Omkareshwar, and Thiruchendur are gaining traction, contributing to a broader map of spiritual tourism.

Accommodation Growth and Diversity

The growth in pilgrim visits has also stimulated a rapid increase in accommodation supply. More than one-third of current hotel rooms in pilgrimage cities were added in the past three years. Alongside hotels, alternative forms such as homestays and apartments now account for nearly 10% of bookings, indicating travelers are exploring varied lodging experiences.

Accommodation TypeGrowth Highlights
Budget Rooms (Below ₹4,500 per night)Continue to dominate at 71% of bookings
Mid-Range Rooms (₹7,000–10,000 per night)Increased demand by 24%
Luxury Rooms (Above ₹10,000 per night)Growth of 23%
Homestays & ApartmentsNearly 10% of all bookings

Changing Characteristics of Pilgrimage Travel

Pilgrimage journeys are taking on new shapes, defined by shorter trips, last-minute bookings, and an increasing preference for group travel. Over half of pilgrims opt for single-night stays (53%), while another 31% choose to stay two nights only. Booking patterns reveal a remarkable trend: 63% of reservations are made within six days of travel.

Group Travel Gains Importance

Travelers moving as groups contribute substantially to pilgrimage tourism, representing 47% of all bookings in pilgrimage destinations compared to 38.9% in typical leisure locations. This indicates a preference for communal spiritual experiences or religious gatherings.

The Rise of Premium Pilgrimage Experiences

While the majority still opt for budget-friendly accommodations, there is a clear upward trend in seeking premium stays. Demand for mid-range to luxury rooms, priced between ₹7,000 and above ₹10,000, shows significant increases. This “premiumisation” signals changing traveler expectations, possibly linked to combining spiritual journeys with leisure comforts.

Spiritual Journeys Merging with Leisure Tourism

A distinct pattern is emerging where spiritual travel is no longer strictly about religious pursuits. Nearly half of holiday packages mix pilgrimage with leisure activities, crafting hybrid itineraries that combine the sacred with the leisurely. This blending ushers in new opportunities for sustainable tourism growth by appealing to a wider audience and enriching cultural experiences.

“Loved by Devotees” and Curated Pilgrimage Stays

To cater to evolving needs, a curated collection of hotels and homestays has been introduced, focusing on proximity to sacred sites and traveler-friendly amenities. Over 200 festivals across pilgrimage locations have been charted, with more than 600 holiday packages available—ranging from purely spiritual trips to mixed exploration tours that encourage deeper engagement with culture and tradition.

Impact on Tourism and Local Economies

The surge in pilgrimage travel is not only broadening the spectrum of spiritual tourism but also fostering the development of the accommodation sector and local economies. Increased demand for diverse lodging and premium options encourages investment and innovation, helping destinations meet the unique needs of pilgrim travelers.
