How India has become a booming supplier of outbound tourists?

Once you visit India - you can definitely feel the fact that there are so many Indias in India and yet there is an Indianness that pervades over everything. This well-known Indianness which has already seen culture, heritage, and diversity that wraps everything in its fold always believes in a strong reason for outbound travel. Despite such diversity the question that arises is as How India has become a booming supplier of outbound tourists.

The fast pacing GDP @7% that directly interprets the rising personal income levels and availability of low-cost air fares adds up a dramatic change onto the global tourism landscape as far as India as a country vis-a-vis outbound tourism is concerned. Every year more than 5.4 million Indians go abroad for MICE, study, tourism, shopping, honeymoon or to visit friends and family.

Why to focus on India for its outbound tourism?

There is a very strong reason to focus on India for its outbound tourism is another fact that the average Indian traveler spends $1,200 per visit as compared with Americans who spend about $700, and Brits who spend $500.

To serve this growing market, virtually all the world's largest airlines operate flights into and out of India. According to Forbes - Thailand, Singapore, the U.S. and Malaysia remain the preferred destinations, but European countries and nearby Sri Lanka, Nepal, China and Japan are also drawing attention for Indian Outbound Travellers.
