Key Takeaways
India is gearing up for what could be its busiest summer air travel season yet. While some reports suggest online travel firms have experienced nearly 150% growth in travel searches, international travel is seeing demand rise by as much as 15-20%.
While India’s international travel segment is still to breach its pre-pandemic high of nearly 64.2 million inbound and outbound passengers set in 2019, this may finally be the year it eclipses that number. In 2023, passengers inbound and outbound to India climbed to 63.9 million, with the quarter ended December seeing an impressive 19% jump compared to the same period in 2022.
Indians are also taking to new tourist destinations. Countries such as Vietnam, Kenya, and Azerbaijan all saw a 2-4X jump in passenger travel in the final quarter of 2023, as per government data. Indeed, to keep pace with the growing demand, India and Vietnam have started talks to increase the quota of seats under their bilateral air service agreement (BASA), according to reports from March.
