In a world brimming with wanderlust-inducing content, Zostel is redefining how travel trends inspire Gen Z and Millennials. By leveraging social media trends and an organic-first marketing strategy, the brand has carved a niche in promoting lesser-known destinations. Through campaigns like "Top 50," Zostel showcases unique experiences across India, captivating audiences with posts that often achieve millions of views.
Pranavi Chhikniwala, Head of Marketing at Zostel, emphasizes how emerging trends shape their approach. Following the surge of revenge travel post-COVID, the brand saw remarkable growth. Zostel’s strategy focuses on experiential travel, catering to younger audiences seeking activities like hiking, surfing, and waterfall diving. Their entry into unconventional locations like Bir and Vagamon often turns these places into tourist hotspots.

Southeast Asia has also become a major focus, with Vietnam and Thailand leading the pack as popular destinations. To tap into this trend, Zostel introduced Zotrux, a curated travel experience for groups of 10–15 people. These tours, featuring comprehensive packages, have seen significant success.
While Instagram remains a key platform with 859K followers, YouTube has emerged as a powerful tool, offering better reach through consistent SEO-driven content. Zostel’s social media efforts blend informative reels and trending topics, striking a balance between establishing authority and engaging with their audience.
