A combination of factors is responsible for the growth and demand of travel trends from India. The visitor profile is on a B2B & B2C format like and will have over 20,000 visitors for three days”. Tourism Studies and Trends indicate that the year 2014 – 15 will see more than 18 million tourists embanking on overseas travel. With the advent of low cost international airfares, holiday packages that are available on monthly instalments are payable over a period of time, and thus International Travel is no longer a luxury.

With a base of over 200 million discerning domestic travel seekers, it is a yearlong market, no hospitality and travel organization can ignore”.
