In today’s modern world, time is a constraint, and everyone is looking for a short break for relaxation
and rejuvenation, for spending quality time with the near ones. After a hectic work week, we often
think to escape to a nearby destination to get ourselves a change, a recharge from the daily stuff and a
satisfying experience in a short time of a weekend.
It is observed that the demand for Weekend Stays / One Day Outing is increasing in metro cities.
Families / Friends / Corporates are looking for a place to relax, celebrate, rejuvenate their weekends.
It is a popular concept amongst middle class and upper middle class. So as the concept of weekend
gateways has gained traction, Resorts have come up with shorter one day packages for tourists who
have lesser time to give it to the tour.
The work week and post that the weekend have become very common terminologies among every
class now a days. Many Multinational companies having operations in India prefer to have a five-day
week followed by 2 days week end break. This was lately adopted by almost every sector and the
concept of weekend tourism is emerged from this setting.
Our study aims to find out the motivation for customers to do such short brake outings, the potential
expectations from such a place and further to get insights about marketing and business strategy and
to analyse this business in the cities of Bangalore and Pune. These cities are selected looking at the
all-round growth in Education, Industry, IT and Infrastructure in recent years. However, the data
