TripAdvisor rolls out Health survey results
TripAdvisor has announced the results of its Health on Holiday survey conducted amongst over 3000 Indian travellers. This Health on Holiday survey reveals Indians to be showing early signs of becoming healthy holidaymakers. Whopping 91% travellers put their diet between moderate and very healthy & 80% said they sleep adequately on holiday.
However, purchasing health insurance does not seem to have caught on as an essential part of travel planning except when travelling outside the country, with 56% respondents claiming they get insurance only for international travel. In line with being considered the more cautious gender, 66% women said they opt for insurance during overseas travel compared to 50% men. Also more women were cautious than men about carrying safe drinking water while travelling and avoiding use of ice in beverages.
Nikhil Ganju, Country Manager, TripAdvisor India said, "Our survey has shown some interesting trends about Indian travellers who do tend to indulge but are also starting to keep a watch on their habits while on holiday. The usual frenzied schedules leave little time for people in cities to attend to their health. As a result, urban Indian travelers are beginning to look at their holiday as a wellness break, and as an opportunity to rehabilitate their normal unhealthy habits."
