MakeMyTrip has launched a groundbreaking initiative aimed at simplifying the process of discovering and booking hotels and homestays in India’s national parks. Covering over 100 parks across the country, this initiative addresses a frequent challenge faced by travelers seeking accommodations close to specific entry points for easier access to safaris or located within park boundaries.

To overcome these difficulties, MakeMyTrip has utilized AI to map more than 2,000 hotels and homestays according to their nearest national park zones. Users can effortlessly search for a national park or specific zone gate on the platform, allowing them to find accommodation options linked to particular gates and park parameters quickly and reliably. Additionally, key park information will be accessible in the ‘Tips’ section, which includes operational hours, peak visitation times, entry guidelines, transportation routes, and links to state tourism board websites for informed decision-making.

“India is home to more than 100 national parks and over 1,000 protected areas, offering immense potential for wildlife tourism. Searches for national parks on our platform have doubled over the last two years, indicating a growing interest among travelers. By facilitating easier access to bookings around these destinations, we aim to encourage more people to explore India’s natural heritage and support the expansion of this sector,” said Ankit Khanna, Chief Product Officer – Hotel, Growth & Emerging Businesses, MakeMyTrip.

The initiative reinforces MakeMyTrip’s commitment to transforming fragmented travel experiences into smooth journeys. Over time, the platform has introduced various innovations designed to improve search functionality, making travel planning more intuitive and accessible.
