Indian online travel company MakeMyTrip is increasing its inventory of homestay properties in select cities to match the expected demand during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. The company has observed a surge in searches for homestay properties during October and November, indicating that cricket fans are more willing than ever to explore this accommodation option. To cater to this demand, MakeMyTrip has created a new feature that shows the distance of homestays from cricket stadiums, enabling fans to book their accommodations accordingly. The company has also set up a dedicated team to support hosts that wish to list their homes as homestays. Additionally, MakeMyTrip announced in May that it will partner with Microsoft to introduce voice-assisted booking services using AI, making travel planning more inclusive and accessible for users.
