Demand for Holiday Homes Gains Traction Amid Pandemic

As the pandemic has significantly impacted the operations of businesses and people's working model, housing preferences also have changed and the demand for holiday homes or second homes has increased in the past few months. According to Aditya Kushwaha, CEO & Director Axis Ecorp , the need for a perfect balance between work and personal life has fuelled the concept of a weekend retreat in a holiday home.    "Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of a holiday home or a second home has gained widespread acceptance.

Most people prefer holiday homes to be near a tourist place, mostly a city or town they often visit. It is usually in a different city that they live in.   Some travellers like to explore new places and set new sail; others want to go to known places to rewind and relax. Holiday homes make perfect sense for the second type of people. They not only go to a familiar place but a friendly accommodation.
