The participants include travel agents and tour operators, destination management companies, hotels and resorts, national tourist offices, online travel portals, adventure tour operators, eco-toursim activities, etc.
Rohit Hangal, director, Sphere Travelmedia, added “With the present ongoing slowdown in international arrivals into India, the events provide the right impetus to woo the Indian domestic tourism industry. With a base of over 200 million discerning domestic travel seekers, it is a year-long market no hospitality and travel organisation can ignore.”
Sanjay Hakhu, director, Sphere Travelmedia, said “India in spite of the present business environment is fast emerging as one of the most interesting and productive countries for the travel trade industry both for leisure and business travel. A combination of factors is responsible for the growth and demand of travel trends from India”.
Tourism studies and trends indicate that the year 2017- 18 will see more than 20 million tourists embanking on overseas travel and with the advent of low cost international airfares, holiday packages that are available on monthly instalments payable over a period of time, international travel is no longer a luxury.
