A survey highlighted a striking gap in how Indians view holiday planning compared with the time it actually takes. According to the findings, planning a vacation is seen as the least appreciated part of travel, even though it demands a major investment of effort before the trip begins.
The report, linked to New Delhi in the coverage, said most people who take charge of organizing a holiday spend more than 10 hours putting the details together. That suggests the work behind a smooth trip often goes unnoticed, despite the number of decisions involved in arranging travel.
Holiday planning typically includes choosing destinations, comparing options, setting budgets, and coordinating schedules. The survey points to a broader travel trend in India: while vacations are valued, the behind-the-scenes task of making them happen is not always recognised in the same way.
The findings underline how much unseen effort goes into a getaway for Indian travellers. As more people continue to travel, the survey suggests that trip planning remains one of the most time-consuming yet least appreciated parts of the vacation experience.
