India Outbound - January-February 2025

Dans ce numéro

Call of the Seas!

One of the most remarkable trends in global tourism has been the rise of cruise industry which has registered a massive growth in the post-pandemic era and even more surprisingly, Indian travellers have taken to cruises like never before, attracting global cruise operators to turn their attention to the Indian traveller. So, we begin the year 2025 with an indepth analysis of the global cruising industry and the Indian market in our January-February 2025 issue of India Outbound magazine. To add to the exploration, we bring you a first-hand experience of a new cruise that was launched in the GCC region, with the Indian customer in focus.

Staying within the GCC, we bring you on a voyage to explore Saudi Arabia and discover its myriad marvels. To build your appetite, we take you on a journey through Georgia to discover its culinary specialities, from Khachapuri to Khinkali.

And while on our journeys, we also examine to what extent are destinations around the world prepared for accessible travel as well as the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence by the Indian travel trade.
