From India to the world: Unleashing the potential of India’s tourists

Boosted by rising economic prosperity and a fast-growing economy, India is set to be an important global source market for leisure travel. India is now the fifth-largest economy, and its population has surpassed China’s to become the largest in the world, at over 1.4 billion people. 1 World Bank national accounts data, GDP (current US$) India, accessed September 2023; World population prospects 2022 , United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division, 2022. And the population is young—the median age is 27.6, more than ten years younger than that of most major economies. 2 World population prospects 2022 . What's more, consumption of goods and services, including leisure and recreation, is forecast to double by 2030. 3 “India’s impending economic boom,” Morgan Stanley, November 8, 2022. Adding a strong postpandemic travel recovery, and a growing appetite for international travel, these factors point to India’s significant potential for outbound tourism.

India is now the fifth-largest economy, and its population has surpassed China’s to become the largest in the world, at over 1.4 billion people.

Through nine charts, this article unpacks trends and opportunities in the Indian travel market. Selected country examples shed light on how destinations can enhance their value propositions to attract and delight Indian travelers.

Indian globetrotters set to soar

Racing ahead: indian wanderlust is taking off, top picks: united arab emirates reigns, new gems discovered, regional flavors; global explorers.

Indian travelers are not a homogenous group; destination preferences vary across regions. For example, travelers from North India constitute a large share of travel to the United States and Canada, while two-thirds of travelers from Kerala prefer destinations in the Middle East. 1 India tourism statistics 2020 , Ministry of Tourism, Government of India, January 2021; MarketIS. Purpose of travel, distribution of the diaspora, and cultural linkages play a role in destination choice.

Destination matchmaking: Five ways to build value

Destinations looking to harness the full potential of the growing Indian market could consider tailoring their value propositions in alignment with one or more of the five key decision points that influence where travelers choose to go. Destinations might ask the following questions to determine which factors align with what Indian travelers look for when planning a trip.

Research. How attractive and popular is the destination with Indian tourists?
Accessibility. Is it easy to obtain a travel visa?
Connectivity. Are there convenient flights that connect India to the destination?
Booking. Is the destination affordable for Indian travelers, and is there an adequate supply of hotels in the appropriate price range?
Travel experience. What is the on-the-ground experience like for Indian tourists in terms of weather, attractions, and whether or not the local population is English speaking?

There’s something for everyone in Thailand

Azerbaijan’s visa policy wows indian travelers, vietnam takes off: direct flights skyrocket arrivals.

In 2019, Kolkata was the only city in India with direct connectivity to Vietnam, and three other Indian cities offered sporadic flights. To stand out from Southeast Asia neighbors and gain popularity with Indian travelers, Vietnam improved direct connectivity from India by increasing flight frequency and adding new routes. Indian arrivals are now at an all-time high. 1 Data from Google trends and Diio Mi.

The luxury of Dubai is within reach

In 2022, India was the largest source market for leisure travelers to Dubai. 1 “1.24 million Indian tourists visit Dubai in first 9 months of 2022,” Business Standard , December 10, 2022. The city is known for its luxury offerings and, perhaps surprisingly, also offers a wide range of accommodations, such as 3-star options. And flights from India are affordable when compared with flights of similar distances. Taken together, these factors make the luxury of Dubai accessible to Indian travelers. 2 MarketIS.

Bollywood magic in Switzerland

While only 9 percent of Indian travelers focus on long-haul destinations in Western Europe, Switzerland has been an Indian top-20 destination for over a decade. Switzerland may be popular, as it feels familiar to Indian travelers: many Bollywood hits feature Swiss attractions, there are plenty of Indian restaurants and cultural festivals, and English is widely spoken. 1 “Switzerland and romantic songs of Indian movies,” Solo Backpacker, September 20, 2019; India-Switzerland relations , Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, February, 2020; Festival of India in Switzerland and Liechtenstein – Events , Ministry of Culture, Government of India, 2018; Swiss hospitality for Indian guests , a joint report from HotellerieSuisse, Berne and Switzerland Tourism, November, 2019.

Namaste, India!

India is a high-potential, growing source market for leisure travel. Destinations looking to attract Indian leisure travelers could consider targeted marketing, an expanded range of affordable options, and customized on-the-ground hospitality that caters to Indian preferences. Destinations may need to take steps now to build a strong value proposition and distinguish themselves as a preferred location. To do so, they could take action in the following areas:

Destinations looking to attract Indian leisure travelers could consider targeted marketing, an expanded range of affordable options, and customized on-the-ground hospitality.

Connect. Make travel seamless, for instance, by simplifying visa application processes and providing direct connectivity.
Entice. Offer affordable packages with a range of choices that appeal to specific groups, such as families, couples, or solo travelers.
Welcome. Make the experience traveler-friendly, for example, by providing appropriate food and beverage options like vegetarian and Indian cuisine.
Attract . Design targeted campaigns to showcase experiences that Indian travelers want, and use appropriate channels to get the word out, for example leveraging over-the-air partnerships and social media.
Unlock. Include the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions) and business tourism segments in marketing efforts to boost interest in leisure travel.

Impacts of tourism in India

It is important that we consider the positive and negative impacts of tourism in every destination, including India. So, lets take a look at what India is doing right and what they can do better.

Social impacts of tourism in India

One of the beauties of tourism in India is the rich cultural exchange it fosters. Visitors get a first-hand experience of India’s deep-rooted traditions, while locals often get a broader understanding of global customs.

Yet, as with any dialogue, there can be misunderstandings. While tourism in India brings about cultural appreciation, there’s also the risk of stereotyping or commercialising certain traditions just to cater to the tourist gaze.

Environmental impacts of tourism in India

India, with its vast forests , serene backwaters, and majestic mountains, promises a natural retreat like no other. Tourism in India has, in many ways, shone a spotlight on the need to conserve these pristine pockets. National parks and wildlife sanctuaries thrive on tourist revenue.

However, there’s a balance to strike. The surge in tourism can lead to challenges like littering in the Himalayan trails or water pollution in the popular beaches of Goa. Each footprint, while seemingly small, can have lasting impacts, making sustainable tourism in India not just an option but a necessity.

Economic impacts of tourism in India

Economically speaking, tourism in India is a major player. It’s a source of income for many, from the rickshaw pullers of Delhi to the houseboat owners in Kerala. The ripple effects are felt in various sectors like hospitality, transport, and local handicrafts.

But here’s the twist: over-reliance on tourism can be tricky. Factors like political events or natural calamities can lead to fluctuations in tourist inflow, making diversification essential even within the realm of promoting tourism in India.

In a Nutshell: Impacts of Tourism in India

Here is a summary of the main impacts of tourism in India.

In closing, while the tapestry of tourism in India is undeniably vibrant, it’s crucial to weave it with care. Through informed strategies and mindful interactions, India’s tourism landscape can remain as diverse and enchanting as the nation itself.

Stay up to date:.

India's culture and diversity make it a land of unlimited opportunities. Each city and state has so much to offer in terms of the heritage, architecture and experience that can be explored. India's tourism potential is huge.

In 2016, India was visited by 9 million tourists. When looked at in isolation, that seems a large number - but when compared with, say, the city of Barcelona, which received 8 million tourists last year, one begins to wonder why a country with 29 states and 4,000 cities managed to attract so few foreign travellers.

The World Travel & Tourism Council calculated that travel and tourism directly and indirectly generated $208 billion, or 9.6% of India’s GDP, in 2016, and supported over 40 million jobs, 9.3% of the country's total employment. The tourism sector is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 6.7% to $420 billion by 2027 (around 10% of GDP).

However, there exists the potential to increase this growth rate to 30% - and when that happens tourism will contribute around 25% of our GDP.

The secret to enabling this growth is hidden in India's 600,000 villages, which together represent an ocean of heritage, culture and experiences waiting to be explored. Yet to unlock the hidden potential of India's villages, we need to approach the issue through the lens of impact tourism.

Impact tourism

Impact tourism is a community and tourist-centred approach in which tourism is leveraged to help deliver sustainable community infrastructure. It gives tourists an authentic experience of local culture and traditions while helping the community - and both these objectives are aligned with the evolving targets of the Paris Agreement and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Impact tourism leads to sustainable rural development and provides livelihood opportunities for rural communities. It is a win-win situation for all stakeholders. Its potential is immense.

The average global tourist is now looking for experiences and a story rather than just a point and shoot-tour. More people go to Barcelona than India because the Spanish city has stories to share and experiences to offer that are lacking back home. Technology, especially through social media, has created an environment in which millennials are becoming inspired to imagine and develop their own personal travel experiences. It's not about going on a trek in Machu Picchu; it is the conversations with local communities that are inspiring people to take up such experiences, and to understand our world in a new way. We want to be inspired by the places we visit and the people we meet, and this is paving the way for experiential tourism.

The village-based impact tourism model can boost tourism by $25 billion by bringing 15 million extra tourists to villages alone, creating 100,000 village-level entrepreneurs in the process. Local state governments should work hand-in-hand with social organisations to identify key development issues in their villages, and then use the impact tourism model to help develop these communities while promoting them as tourist destinations. This would achieve two objectives at once: giving tourists an experience and memories to last for a lifetime, while providing villagers with opportunities to improve their livelihoods.

If done correctly, this approach could exponentially increase the numbers of tourists visiting India, while at the same time incentivise villagers to stay in their villages rather than add to the growing migration away from rural areas to the cities.

Have you read?

How can india realize its potential as a tourism hotspot , the growth paradox: can tourism ever be sustainable, what india can teach the world about sustainability, incredible india 2.0 - india’s $20 billion tourism opportunity.

Tourists could experience living with villagers in Rajasthan, for example. They could learn about traditional Rajasthani culture and traditions, while giving back to the community by installing a water filter in the home in which they are staying, for example, or painting village homes. Or it could be something as simple as engaging villagers in literacy sessions on themes that can be decided on by heads of the local community based on the needs of their villages. This model also helps to revive traditional art forms by giving the villagers a direct market place to sell their local produce as souvenirs to the tourists visiting them.

The problem and the solution are very straightforward; what is needed now is an effective partnership between the government and the private sector. A national tourism board will be able to provide the tourism sectors with a voice at government level. Currently the Indian tourism industry is self-governed by multiple agencies with no common goals. A tourism board, however, could clearly define the roles and responsibilities of both the government and private sector. It could align stakeholders with common goals and a common vision - which could be, for example, 'increase tourism's contribution to GDP to 30% by 2023'.

The private sector can develop experiences and impact tours using the infrastructure provided by the government such as airports, roads and rail connectivity to the remote areas of India. In this model, everyone is a winner, including the local communities that will benefit immensely from the tourism. All it needs is for all stakeholders to open their minds to India's untapped tourism potential, and to develop a clear plan of execution. Otherwise this is in danger of becoming a gold mine that we never explore.

Adventure Tourism: The Economic Impact, Sustainable Development in India.

In India, we are still at a nascent stage as far as adventure tourism is concerned

Written By Ankit Gupta

In today’s world, exploration and adventure have become integral components of the ever-expanding tourism landscape, contributing significantly to the economic development of rural destinations. This phenomenon, often underestimated, finds a vibrant expression in India, a country boasting diverse landscapes that cater to a myriad of adventure activities.

From the serenity of hiking and trekking to the adrenaline-pumping experiences of surfing, skiing, and white water rafting, India offers a spectrum of options for adventure enthusiasts. Uttarakhand, with its renowned ‘Roopkund trek,’ serves as an emblematic illustration of the nation’s allure for such pursuits.

Within the context of India’s economic dynamics, where tourism plays a pivotal role, adventure tourism emerges as a noteworthy contributor. Despite the hurdles posed by recent global events, the tourism sector in India demonstrated resilience in 2021, bouncing back from a contraction in the previous year. Forecasts from the World Travel and Tourism Council indicate substantial growth, with a projected annual rate of 7.8 percent, contributing significantly to the country’s GDP by 2031.

National Strategy for Sustainability

Government authorities in India have discerned the strategic importance of adventure tourism, acknowledging its role in achieving Sustainable Development Goals. This commitment found expression during the 2nd Tourism Working Group Meeting under the G20, where G K Reddy, Union Minister for Culture, Tourism, and DoNER, underscored the significance of adventure tourism in the broader context of national goals.

In tandem with this recognition, the Indian government has taken initiatives to promote sustainability. Mission-LIFE, an endeavour encouraging a sustainable lifestyle through the establishment of tourism clubs in educational institutions, aims to instil awareness among the younger generation about India’s natural, cultural, and spiritual heritage.

A holistic national strategy for adventure tourism encompasses various projects, including State Ranking Criteria for Adventure Tourism Sites, Model Adventure Tourism Law, Mega Trails, and Adventure Activity Guidelines. These initiatives collectively position India on the global stage as a premier destination for adventure tourism.

G20 Alignment and Recognition

The alignment of these efforts with India’s G20 Presidency is evident in the organisation of over 200 meetings across the nation, showcasing the country’s cultural richness and geographical diversity. The G20’s focus on themes such as green tourism, digitalisation, skills, tourism MSMEs, and destination management dovetails seamlessly with India’s endeavours to promote adventure tourism.

In the spirit of inclusivity, initiatives during these meetings also spotlight regional arts and products. These efforts contribute to the overarching goals outlined in the Goa Roadmap and Action Plan for Achieving SDGs, emphasizing India’s commitment to making the G20 an inclusive platform.

In India, we are still at a nascent stage as far as adventure tourism is concerned. Having said that, it does create a colourful picture that includes economic growth, sustainability, and getting noticed around the world. Thanks to the efforts of the government and collaboration on the global stage, India has become a sought-after place for adventure lovers. This not only boosts the economy but also encourages sharing cultures and working together in the scenic rural areas of the country.

Essay on Tourism in India: A Growing Global Attraction

Tourism in India has indeed grown into an immense global attraction, alluring travellers from every corner of the world. The diversified landscapes, rich culture, historical heritage, and varied cuisine have contributed to positioning India as a prominent destination in the world tourism map. From the snow-clad peaks of the Himalayas to the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, the arid deserts of Rajasthan to the lush forests of the Northeast, the country offers a myriad of experiences that are unparalleled. The continuous efforts by the government and private sectors in promoting tourism have reaped significant benefits, leading to increased foreign exchange, job opportunities, and international recognition.

The history of India, steeped in mystique and spirituality, has always been a point of intrigue for many. Majestic forts, intricate temples, and architectural marvels such as the Taj Mahal symbolise a civilization that has evolved through centuries, and this historic wealth continues to captivate tourists. Additionally, India’s philosophical foundations, including Yoga and Ayurveda, have received global appreciation, leading to an influx of tourists seeking holistic well-being.

Another factor contributing to the growth of tourism in India is the hospitable nature of its people and the rich tapestry of cultural traditions. Indian hospitality, marked by warmth and personal care, has been an age-old tradition. In a land of numerous festivals, art forms, languages, and culinary diversity, every region has something unique to offer. This amalgamation of tradition and modernity creates an intriguing blend that resonates with tourists, both young and old.

India’s ecological diversity also plays a crucial role in attracting nature enthusiasts. Wildlife sanctuaries, coastal regions, mountain terrains, and lush green landscapes offer unique eco-friendly experiences. Adventure tourism has gained momentum, with activities like trekking, paragliding, river rafting, and scuba diving becoming popular among both domestic and international tourists.

With the growth of technology and improved connectivity, travel has become more accessible. A streamlined visa process, better transportation facilities, and wide-ranging accommodation options have simplified travel within India. Such facilitation has opened the doors for more tourists to explore the various facets of the country without major hassles.

However, the rapid growth of tourism also raises concerns. Issues such as environmental degradation, loss of cultural identity, and the over-commercialisation of traditional practices must be addressed with caution. Sustainable tourism, which emphasizes responsible travel and conservation, must be at the forefront of India’s tourism policies.

In conclusion, tourism in India is indeed a growing global attraction. Its diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, history, and hospitality make it a fascinating destination. The continued promotion of tourism by embracing modern technology, while ensuring sustainability and responsible travel, will further solidify India’s position as a sought-after travel destination. India’s ability to offer something for every traveller, whether it be adventure, relaxation, exploration, or a spiritual quest, makes it a versatile and ever-enticing destination. As the tourism sector continues to grow, the challenge lies in balancing modernity with tradition, growth with sustainability, and self-interest with community welfare, to continue welcoming tourists from around the world.
