All About Africa And America The latest issue of India Outbound magazine is out and in this issue we focus on two geographies that could not have been more different and yet share a common factor, a rising fascination of Indian travellers and travel trade for exploring both!
America or more precisely the United States has long been a dreamland for any Indian vacationer, but the pull of the American Dream has grown manifold in the post-pandemic era and it seems to be headed for yet another peak in 2026 as the US will celebrate landmark celebrations, including its own 250th Independence Day and also as a co-host of FIFA Football World Cup, by far the most popular single sports tournament in the world. At the recently concluded IPW, tourism stakeholders from India and US focussed on capitalising on this unique conjunction of events and boost travel from India to the US to record heights.
In this issue we take you on a journey through Uganda’s USPs and also show you the rich diversity of travel experiences that South Africa offers to visitors.
We also look at the nitty-gritty of the growth in Indian outbound travel market by examining the shift in source cities from metros to Tier II and Tier II cities as well as the experiences and expectations of the first time travellers, along with how Indian travellers are dealing with a consistently ‘weaker’ Indian passport.
