From AI to UPI: How tech is redefining travel for Indians in 2025

Remember when booking a vacation meant standing in line at a travel agency, flipping through glossy brochures, and hoping your hotel looked something like the pictures? Fast forward to 2025, and Indian travel planning is less 'bargain at the counter' and more chatting with AI bots any time of the year. Whether you're craving a sunrise trek in the Sahyadris or a last-minute beach escape to Bali, all it takes is a swipe, tap, or even a voice note. The new trend of turning to the AI for everything under the sun, to UPI payments that zap money across time zones in seconds, tech has turned travel from task to treat. No more overpacking printed tickets or arguing over directions, you have got your smartphone and you are covered. In this digital travel renaissance, Indians are no longer willing to just travel; they're tech-powered explorers charting the globe one algorithm at a time. Bon voyage, but make it digital. Therefore, in 2025, technical breakthroughs, shifting traveler preferences, and a boom in digital adoption have all contributed to a dramatic shift in India's online travel scene. With the online travel market expected to reach USD 124.10 billion by 2033 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%, internet travel platforms are significantly changing the way Indians book, plan, and enjoy their travels. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New York: Gov Will Cover Your Cost To Install Solar If You Live In These Zips SunValue Learn More Undo Read more: 5 day trips from Noida that are super fun AI-powered personalisation: Crafting tailored travel experiences Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of revolutionising the travel industry.

This mobile-first strategy ensures that travelers can plan and manage their journeys seamlessly, anytime and anywhere. Digital payments and blockchain The premium features of digital payment systems that have been incorporated to enhance the booking process and offer speedy and secure transactions are e-wallets and the Unified Payments Interface (UPI).

Further, films and television also serve as an inspiration for their travel, which makes up to 52%. This trend shows how much the digital content is responsible in shaping travel preferences and decisions. Dynamic booking tools To cater to these much evolved travellers, online travel platforms are going on full throttle to serve them by introducing tools to address challenges like fluctuating booking patterns and limited ticket availability. Now, features such as Seat Availability Forecast and Sold-out Alerts are available to help travellers to anticipate the chances of securing a confirmed seat and notify them when tickets become available for fully booked trains . These features empower travelers with real-time information, enabling quicker and more informed booking decisions.

Delhi exporter held for Rs 30 crore scam linked to trade benefit scheme

New Delhi: An exporter was arrested for cheating and forgery related to a foreign trade benefit scam, causing a loss of Rs 30.47 crore to the exchequer, a Delhi Police official said on Saturday. 'Angad Pal Singh was arrested soon after his deportation from the US and arrest by CBI in another case,' said Vikram K. Porwal, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Economic Offence Wing). He said the accused was arrested on the complaint of the Naraina branch of ICICI Bank, which detected 467 fake Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates (FIRCs) submitted by its 18 account holders (17 firms). The scam is linked to FIRCs for the period from September 26, 2013, to October 21, 2015, the police said. DCP Porwal said that Angad Pal Singh and his family members created forged FIRC and obtained benefits of Duty Credit Scrips worth Rs 30.47 crore and sold them in the open market. All these FIRCs, which ran into crores of rupees, were purportedly issued from Corporation Bank, Bhikaji Cama Place, Delhi, he said. DCP Porwal said that soon after a complaint was filed against the exporter and his family, they fled to the US. 'The accused was later deported from the US and arrested by the CBI in another case of fraud. He has been arrested by EOW on June 2, and his police custody was obtained from a court,' he said, adding that the accused is presently in judicial custody. The DCP said that three other accused were arrested in this case earlier. They have already been charge-sheeted. Angad Singh, along with his father Surinder Singh and brother Harsahib Singh, was holding ownership of five firms, namely Kumar Trading Company, National Trader, Trident Overseas India, HSC Exim India and AHC Auto Spares, the police said. Angad Singh, who studied till Class 12 in Delhi, learnt the tricks of export business from his father, who exported auto spare parts through his firm, National Trader. He also engaged some other firms belonging to his family/friends on the pretext of providing high returns, the police said.
