Indian travellers can enjoy home away from home experiences globally now
India Outbound
|July - August 2025
Outbound travel in India is booming, driven by rising incomes, easier visas and tech, with World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) helping destinations adapt to Indian preferences, Julia Simpson, CEO and President, WTTC, tells India Outbound.
What are the key factors driving outbound travel from India?
Well, it is really interesting because travel and tourism is set to grow in India quite significantly. Currently, it represents about 7 pc of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or the economy of India. We will be seeing that over the next few years grow to 10 pc. Now, these are the people who are inbound visitors into India and the value of inbound visitors is that they effectively are an export, they bring in foreign currency. So, it is really important, but the outbound sector is also really critical because we are seeing so many Indians travelling around the world and acting, if you like, as ambassadors.
