NEW DELHI :India’s travel and tourism sector is seeing robust growth, propelled by an increasing appetite for frequent and shorter trips, said Laura Houldsworth, Asia Pacific managing director for Booking.com. In a recent interview with Mint, she said this surge is not only fueled by expanding spiritual and wedding tourism but also by a strong outbound travel market.
“We’re expecting Indians to want to travel more frequently and take a lot of shorter trips as well, unlike the one to two trips we saw in the past,” Houldsworth said.
Indians took about 2.3 billion trips in 2019, which is estimated to rise to about 5 billion by 2030, the company had said earlier.
