The Indian tourism market is significant and growing, representing a huge opportunity for countries and regions to embrace. The United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) quantified the
number of outbound tourists from India in 2016 at 21.9 million and predicts the number will more than double to 50 million in 2021. The view of this opportunity expands when also taking into
account the increasing proportion of the Indian population that has yet to travel long-haul, but now has enough disposable income to do so.
