This study investigates investors’ perceptions of mutual funds as a funding source for leisure travel. We collected data from 115 respondents in Delhi using semi – structured questionnaire and convenience sampling. The results show that a significant percentage of investors manage and examine their investments on a regular basis, demonstrating excellent financial awareness and goal-oriented behaviour. Digital investing platforms and applications were shown to have a major impact, suggesting a move towards technology-driven investment solutions. Leisure travel is becoming a viable financial aim, even though long-term financial objectives continue to be the main driving force behind mutual fund investing. The study's sample size and regional focus, however, limit it, indicating the need for larger and more varied samples in future studies. Realistically, asset management firms are able to create investment plans that complement long-term financial stability with individual aspirations for luxury or travel. In addition to providing investors with large returns, these mutual funds might help the travel and hospitality sector expand. The potential profits, expert management, and diversity of mutual funds make them appealing. They are typically seen as long-term savings instruments that assist investors in reaching their lifestyle objectives, such as leisure and travel, as well as financial stability. Although previous research has examined investors' perceptions of mutual funds, this study is unique in that it is the first to examine this viewpoint in relation to using mutual fund assets to finance leisure travel.
