Indian Travel Sector Sees Domestic Growth Amid West Asia Demand Challenges
ITC Hotels and Thomas Cook highlight the growth and challenges in India's travel sector amid global uncertainties. ITC Hotels plans to expand to 250 properties over five years, driven by rising domestic travel and experience-led tourism. Meanwhile, Thomas Cook anticipates a 30-40% decline in West Asia demand but expects domestic and short-haul travel within India and Southeast Asia to offset this. Both companies emphasize adapting strategies to evolving market conditions, including cost management and digital adoption.
