Zostel, the trailblazing chain of hostels catering to backpackers around the world, recently reached a significant milestone that marks a decade of reshaping the travel landscape in India. On August 15th, 2023, the company celebrated its ten-year anniversary, commemorating a journey that has not only revolutionised the way we travel but also fostered a vibrant community of adventurers, explorers, and culture enthusiasts. To celebrate 10 years in the industry, the brand released an amazing celebrations video and an even better offer for its customers.
The History of Zostel
Founded in 2013 by a group of visionary friends, Zostel embarked on its journey with a pioneering spirit and a vision to transform travel experiences into something more immersive and memorable. The brand aimed to transcend the typical hotel stay and turn travel into an exhilarating journey filled with adventure, creativity, and connections. Over the past ten years, it has achieved precisely that. Its hostels have become synonymous with a vibrant and youthful atmosphere, offering affordable and comfortable stays to travellers from all corners of the world. With each property in the last 10 years, they have managed to weave the local culture and community into the fabric of the experience, empowering entrepreneurship and creating lifelong memories for its guests.
The Hilarious Anniversary Celebrations
To share the joy of completing 10 years, Zostel took to its official Instagram page with a video that had its audience in splits. The video showcased snippets of the brand’s journey and the celebration of the team which might not be the best party and yet it was the best party ever. With its hilarious mishaps, quirky moments, and heartwarming connections that have defined their experience, the celebration mirrored the same. The video opens with a narration describing their strong team who are all pumped to attend the birthday celebrations. From the montage of struggling to find a cab to the last-minute run to find the matching footwear, the celebration was an honest show. However, what truly made the video special was the location. Instead of an uptown club, the team celebration begins in the middle of nowhere dancing their hearts out to shehnai and dhol music. Truly one-of-a-kind celebration, we’d say.
