Key Market Trends Fueling Growth

Travel in India is predominantly done via airlines due to their comfort and efficiency, especially for tourists and frequent travelers. However, the cost of air travel, particularly for families or large groups, is significantly higher than other modes like rail or bus. This cost burden can be alleviated by the emergence of low-cost airlines, a response to the intensifying competition in the aviation industry. These budget carriers have not only made air travel more affordable for individual travelers but also encouraged businesses to opt for air travel for cost-effective business trips. Furthermore, the availability of low-cost air tickets has positively impacted the tourism industry, leading to increased demand and attracting global investment. For instance, Etihad Airways, in partnership with Air Arabia, is planning to launch a low-cost airline in India, further fueling the growth of the travel services market in the country during the forecast period.

The Indian travel services market is witnessing significant growth, with rail bookings and car rental services leading the way. Corporations and individual travelers alike are increasingly relying on travel providers for itinerary planning and booking flights, accommodations, and transportation for trips, both domestic and international. Offline travel services continue to coexist with direct and indirect travel services, catering to various traveler preferences. Travelers can now easily generate visas and travel documents online or in person. Multi-destination trips, group travel, and corporate travel are popular trends. Direct travel suppliers offer packages for independent travelers, while online travel agents provide convenience through desktop and mobile platforms. Car hire services are also on the rise, with phone booking and online booking options. The tourism industry continues to expand, with international tourism driving growth. Overall, the travel services market in India is dynamic and evolving to meet the diverse needs of travelers.
