India has emerged as one of Asia’s leading destinations embracing responsible tourism, securing the third position in Asia for sustainable travel, according to a recent survey conducted by Agoda.
The study highlights a significant shift in travel behaviour among Indian tourists, with sustainability becoming a key factor influencing travel decisions. A large percentage of Indian travellers now actively consider eco-friendly practices while planning their trips, including choosing environmentally responsible accommodations, reducing waste, and supporting local communities.
The survey revealed that sustainability awareness among Indian travellers has grown rapidly in recent years. Many travellers are prioritising experiences that promote cultural preservation, local economic growth, and environmentally conscious tourism practices. This change reflects a broader regional trend where travellers increasingly seek meaningful and responsible travel experiences rather than traditional mass tourism.
Across Asia, destinations are witnessing growing demand for greener tourism options, with countries investing in sustainable infrastructure, eco-certified stays, and community-based tourism initiatives. India’s strong ranking indicates rising awareness among travellers as well as improved industry participation in sustainable tourism initiatives.
Experts believe this momentum will encourage travel companies, hospitality providers, and tourism boards in India to further adopt sustainable practices. As travellers continue to value ethical and environmentally responsible experiences, sustainability is expected to become a defining pillar of Asia’s future tourism landscape.
Overall, the findings demonstrate that Indian travellers are not only travelling more but also travelling more responsibly, positioning India as a key contributor to Asia’s sustainable tourism movement.
