Growth in the Indian travel industry today outstrips the country’s robust GDP growth.

The sector is expected to witness a compounded annual growth rate of 20% well up to 2020, making it one of the most exciting growth stories in the world of travel. With a whopping 740 million travellers, the domestic tourism market is growing at 20% per annum. Outbound travel is growing at an estimated 26 % per annum.

There are several interesting aspects to the Indian travel and tourism growth story. Firstly, the Indian traveller is exploring exotic, unheard-of adventure destinations. Secondly, the market is not limited to the top ten metros and cities: experts estimate that a phenomenal 30% of outbound travellers will come from Tier II & III markets like Rajkot, Indore, Kolhapur, Ludhiana, to name a few.
