“As of March 31, nights booked during the dates of the Olympics are over five times (400 per cent) higher than they were in the Paris region at the same time a year ago,” stated a release from the company.

“Paris remains the top-searched city on the platform, with a nearly 40 per cent increase in active listings in the region. We have witnessed the highest increase in travellers coming from India, mainland China, Hong Kong (SAR), and Japan,” it added.

According to the company, Indian travelers are also looking to explore French cities beyond Paris, such as Nice, Aubervilliers, Colombes, and Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine.

“The surge in bookings for Paris reflects an exciting trend among Indian travellers, who are increasingly planning trips around iconic sporting events like the Olympics, showcasing their growing appetite for unique, global experiences,” said Amanpreet Bajaj, general manager for India, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan at Airbnb.

“While Paris remains a top destination, these travelers are also venturing beyond traditional tourist spots to explore cities like Saint-Denis and Bordeaux,” Bajaj added.
