Greetings from Team 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙖 𝙊𝙪𝙩𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙.

The November-December 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯 issue of 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙖 𝙊𝙪𝙩𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 is out. Here we are at the end of another year! This year has seen the emergence of several new trends in travel in India. From wellness and sustainable tourism to digital nomadism and multi-generational travel, even though Indians chose to travel differently, but travel they did. And though it is hardly a new trend, the year 2023 can certainly be called the year of luxury travel for Indian outbound travel market. Thus, it is but natural that in this last issue of India Outbound for 2023, we take an indepth look at the entire gamut as destinations, hotels and all other stakeholders of travel and tourism from around the world that have been closely watching the elite Indian travellers lay down the red carpet to tap this highly promising segment.

And talking of luxury travel, one can never leave out the GOAT luxurious destination, Jamaica. India Outbound had the privilege of visiting the Caribbean country at the invitation of Visit Jamaica for the travel show JAPEX and could only come to two conclusions. One, luxury lives in Jamaica and second, the Indian market holds limitless potential for the destination.
Continuing with the outdoors and nature, this issue also takes you to three distinct destinations in Europe – Segovia in Spain, Heidelberg in Germany and Kutaisi in Georgia – that offer a great mix of outdoors and nature trails along with urban experiences.
