Young travellers in India are shifting their focus from spontaneous adventures to prioritizing safety during their journeys. According to Bikash Madan, CEO of WTiCabs, 60-70% of younger users now actively check safety features such as driver ratings and trip tracking before making bookings. This change reflects a broader redefinition of what constitutes 'safe travel,' which now encompasses a comprehensive safety stack including verified driver onboarding, real-time GPS tracking, and 24/7 support. Pranav Dangi, CEO of The Hosteller, notes that the modern traveller is increasingly concerned about the trustworthiness of their accommodations and the safety of their locations. In 2025, The Hosteller hosted nearly 500,000 guests, with 41% under the age of 25, highlighting that safety is now a baseline expectation rather than a differentiator. As the travel industry evolves, the demand for tech-enabled safety measures will be crucial for attracting and retaining young travellers, who seek not just adventure but also the reassurance of being well looked after.
