Travel Trends: From AI in 2025 to America in 2026

The November-December issue of India Outbound magazine is out and in this issue we focus on two elements that are not only making their impact felt currently in the Indian market, but are bound to increase in the future, for entirely different reasons, though.

The first issue deals with the rapid transition of the Indian travel and tourism industry towards adoption of AI-driven tools to enhance their own internal processes as well as improve customer experience. We speak to players as well as analysts to see the road ahead.

The second main topic of this issue deals with an unprecendented series of globally important events that are set to play out in the United States in 2026, namely the 250th Anniversary of US independence, the 2026 FIFA Football World Cup and finally the Centennial Celebrations of Route 66. We bring first hand reports from two of the cities that will be at the centre of attraction in 2026, Chicago, where Route 66 began and New York, that is epitome of the American Dream.

We also look at the resumption flights between India and China and the likely impact on tourism, as well as see how far Africa has come as a destination in India in 2025.

AI CYCLONE SWEEPS UP Indian travel industry

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes omnipresent across India, one of the industries where its adoption has been wholehearted in the current year is the travel and tourism industry, as companies and consumers turn with equal enthusiasm towards the technology. The hunger of AI is far from satiated as companies race to install ever-improving systems and even those left out of the game begin to turn towards its adoption.

A TOURIST'S DAY OUT IN CHICAGO

Every year there is a new travel trend that emerges, a trend that defines how a tourist should travel. And the most recent trend that has emerged is how to explore a city, but not in a “touristy way!” But since when has that become bad? Why can we not explore a city like a tourist or do the most touristy things? Therefore, on my recent trip to Chicago, the host city for the 2025 IPW Convention, I decided to do the most touristy things through the most touristic mode of transport of them all, the Big Bus.

SHOOTING FOR THE STARS IN NEW YORK

Of its many allures for tourists, there is none that can come close to the one that has dominated New York for over 100 years, its skyscrapers, which have not only attracted visitors but also Hollywood that never seems to have had enough of the giants of the Big Apple. Exploring New York is perhaps best done as Spiderman had, by jumping from one rooftop to another.
