Domestic
The domestic tourism market will be on a rise. The only roadblock could be the impending General Elections which are expected around the summer holiday season. The travellers have become quite mature, and they prefer to visit less number of places in one vacation. The trend of people exploring new destinations is there, but any new tourist spot will take at least 10 years to develop as a proper destination.
Mukesh Jagga
Director, Viva Holidays Tours & Travels I think popular spots like Kerala and Goa will always be good attractions. The other destinations that are fast becoming popular are North-East states like Sikkim, Darjeeling and Gangtok, due to good connectivity and durable pricing. I think the General Elections will not have any major impact on the season. I believe off-beat destinations are there, but usually they have less accommodation space and connectivity issues.
