UPTICK IN CONSUMER SPENDING

-

The tourism sector in India has staged a significan­t revival since the COVID-19 cases lessened in number, giving a much-needed fillip to the domestic travel segment. This trend is anticipate­d to persist as the hospitalit­y industry has witnessed a significan­t increase in demand for premium rooms on account of rising consumer spending. The sector is currently witnessing a boom on the back of better connectivi­ty of highways and the UDAN scheme, which has improved flight connectivi­ty to various tourist destinatio­ns. The Indian tourism sector is in a much better situation than other countries, which are more dependent on foreign tourist arrivals. For every beautiful tourist destinatio­n in India, there’s an equally attractive alternativ­e that remains unexplored. Hence, the situation is not likely to change even if internatio­nal travel fully gains momentum. The country will continue to lead as a sustainabl­e destinatio­n amid demand for safe and environmen­tally sustainabl­e travel across the globe.
