Hello fellow hosts,
Did you know that 20+ million Indian guests travel overseas every year?! I was stunned when I found out too and it is estimated that this number will increase 6 times in the next 20 years. There's a high chance that you might get the opportunity to host some lovely guests from India in near future if you already haven't.
I am a host from India and have hosted more than 180 Indian guests in the last 2.5 years. I have been a little around the world and stayed at different Airbnbs, thus, I can say that I understand, upto some extent, the differences between hosting styles, guest expectations etc. across different cultures.
Early this year I made a post with 5 Tips to Host Indian Guests and it received a great response from the community. Hence, I thought of initiating a Q&A to answer other quesitons that you might have about Indian Guests, their expectations, habits, interests and other nuances which you might be interested to understand.
Please post them below and I'll try my best to answer all after 24 hours.
Please Remember:
1) To be respectful, do not use foul language/rant/rave
2) This is not an attempt to sterotype Indians. I'm only sharing my personal experience with Indian guests.
3) India has extremely diverse cultures with more than a billion people, thus you might not have similar experiences with all guests. And your experience may not match with mine.
4) If you find this useful/interesting, please hit the thumbs up button to let me know 🙂
Thank you!
