Industry Overview

Raja Natesan

COO, TUI “Regular sustainable tourism that is not dependent on summer vacations and other small time slots is only domestic. In domestic travel you not only have vacation travellers but also people travelling on shorter 4-5 days breaks and even weekend holidays today. Since India, as a country still has leisure as a last minute plan, it has become imperative to tap into the more committed movement of business travellers through MICE.”

GM, Kuoni “We cater to the inbound MICE segment and I believe where we’re losing out is on the existing prices of hotels.

But now, even the hotel rates are seeing a correction and there is more supply

being created.”
