While 32 per cent said that they were influenced by their family and friends, others keep a pulse on social media posts of beautiful locations for inspiration on lovecation. Outdoor activities (67 per cent) and local food experiences most preferred activities. Research and planning for the trip emerged as the most stressful followed by packing for the trip. 52 per cent of all users picked curated local experiences such as food and activities followed by a plush bath and bed as their most ideal attributes in a hotel.
Majority of the users find restrictive timings for both check in and check out and fixed meal times the most annoying.
