This study investigates the home stay preferences of Indian tourists with a particular focus on the majestic state of Uttarakhand in northern India. The primary objective of this research is to understand the key factors influencing the preferences of Indian tourists when choosing home stay accommodations in Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand, known for its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage has witnessed a growing trend in the popularity of home stays among tourists seeking authentic and immersive experiences.
