TRAVEL INDUSTRY: A RETROSPECT
The recent global financial meltdown is definitely going to have an
impact on the Indian economy as well and the tourism is usually a
casualty in such troubled times. However, the Indian domestic and
outbound travel industry still remains strong and is expected to tide
over the crisis period much better. We have no doubts that given the
proper importance and direction, the tourism and hospitality industry
has the potential to emerge as the single largest employer in the
country in the coming years.
But regardless of these hindrances, India remains packed with potential
and easily the most tantalising platform for travel ecom- merce growth.
FUTURE TRENDS IN INDIAN TRAVEL INDUSTRY
. The Indian online travel market will be US$7 billion by the
end of 2011.
. Travel is the largest e-commerce category in India.
. In a complex and diverse marketplace with 28 states, 25 official
languages and over one billion people, regional reach and
local context trump national brands and strategies.
. In a strongly faithful culture, one out of five leisure travelers
take religious pilgrimages.
. About US$130 million has been poured into the OTA (Online Travel
Agency) space in the last 30 months, indicating the serious potential
of online travel in the country.
. The Indian domestic air market will double in size from US$3.6
billion to reach $8 billion in 2011
. In India, religious travel is not a niche it is akin to leisure
travel.

by the middle class in India.
. The travel problem in India is not only the air and hotel. It is
the about the last mile. The bus segment has also seen the entry
of online bus aggregators like Redbus and Ticketvala.com.
. India has been promoting its healthcare tourism by providing the
visitors with private healthcare facilities. It is expected that
the total market for medical tourism will reach US$ 2 Billion by
2012, representing a CAGR of 60.69%.
