Goa is emerging as a preferred destination for India's growing monsoon travel and "micro-cation" trend, with domestic searches for monsoon trips to the coastal state rising nearly 40% year-on-year, according to the Goa tourism department.
Data from Airbnb cited by the tourism department shows a shift in travel preferences, with Indians increasingly opting for spontaneous weekend getaways and short three-to-five-day holidays during the monsoon season.
