The travel industry in India has evolved over the years. It has become far more experiential; with a variety of segments such as culinary tours, sports and adventure travel, photography , music,  literary and study tours, etc that have emerged.

With these segments, Indians have increasingly started viewing travel as a necessity, often opting for 2-3 short breaks along with a long leisurely vacation every year.   Today Indians are not solely looking at a destination as a 'go to holiday spot', they want to get away from their mundane routines and are looking at a more power packed, fun-filled experience.

To celebrate this spirit of travel and create awareness on its social, cultural, political and economic value, 27th September 2016 is observed as the World Tourism Day.  It signifies how travelling is one of the best ways of gaining new experiences. It further enlightens one with diverse cultures which fosters new learnings.
