India Outbound - March - April 2026

In dit nummer

Summer remains the King of travel seasons The latest issue of India Outbound magazine is out now. In our March–April 2026 issue, we turn the spotlight on Summer Travel 2026 asking whether summer still reigns as the king of travel seasons and how Indian travellers are redefining peak holidays with deeper brand engagement, smarter loyalty choices and more personalised experiences.
As the outbound market evolves, loyalty programmes are no longer add-ons but central to airline, hotel and cruise strategies with rewards translating into upgrades, privileges and curated services for Indian travellers.
We begin our destination journey in the United States, exploring Kansas City, set to host six matches during the FIFA World Cup 2026, and venture into off-beat Arkansas. Adventure seekers will find inspiration in Azerbaijan, while Africa lovers can discover the ancient highlands of Ethiopia.
From glowcations and wellness-led journeys to the rise of senior travel, festive Eid getaways and the growing allure of night tourism, this issue captures the many shifts shaping Indian outbound in 2026.
