Skift Indian Outbound Traveler Insights and Segmentation Program
Skift Indian Outbound Traveler Insights and Segmentation Program
Is India the new China? That is the question every destination and travel leader is asking themselves when looking at a country whose population (1.4 billion) has already surpassed China's. India has emerged post the COVID-19 pandemic as one of the fastest growing outbound markets (110% growth in outbound travel in 2023 vs. 2019), with its surging middle class being the real growth driver - currently representing 31% of India's population.
While traditionally hampered by boom-and-bust cycles, India’s outbound tourism, supported by this dynamic and growing middle class, sustained economic growth and resurgence in airline capacity, is projected to grow up to hit 38% by 2031 and 60% by 2047 - reaching 1 million Indians by that time.
Understanding the massive opportunity for travel and tourism organizations around the globe wishing to capitalize on the number one growing global outbound travel market, Skift Advisory has developed the Skift Indian Outbound Traveler Insights and Segmentation Program – the definitive quantitative-based research program providing unparalleled insights around perceptions, intentions, behaviors, and attitudes of the Indian outbound travel consumer, as well as a detailed segmentation study of key target audience groups.
