Why Travel Is Heating Up
Post-pandemic domestic travel volumes hit a new high in May 2026, with IRCTC reporting record bookings and DGCA noting 12% YoY growth in domestic air traffic. Investors are now backing the full travel stack — payments (Scapia), accommodation (Hosteller, goSTOPS, Tribe Stays), AI planning (Rimigo), and consolidation (ixigo's Brevistay acquisition).
