Executive summary
Incredible India! campaign continues to mesmerise
Travel and tourism in India experienced another year of encouraging development in 2007. There was impressive growth in the number of domestic trips taken as well as in the number of arrivals and departures owing in part to aggressive international advertising and promotion through the Incredible India! campaign. Both the central government and state governments have been pro-active in terms of marketing in order to showcase their various tourism products. Furthermore, niches categories such as medical tourism and adventure tourism proved popular in 2007, which combined with improvements to infrastructure and the continued popularity of low cost carriers among other things, helped to boost travel and tourism in India.
Domestic tourism surges ahead
Gone are the days when domestic tourism in India was synonymous with pilgrimages or visits to friends and relatives. Driven by rising incomes, an increased standard of living and improved land, rail and air transportation, more people in 2007 went on domestic trips. Also, with improved information technology reaching all corners of the country, people have begun to take domestic trips more frequently. The Indian Railways have played a vital role in providing better connectivity as has the government's liberalisation and open skies policy, which led to the introduction of low cost carriers and which thus made domestic air travel affordable to a greater number of domestic tourists.
Strong demand places some Indian hotels among the world’s costliest hotels
Increases in real estate pricing have made it difficult to develop new hotels in India. With supply lagging behind demand for hotels in 2007, room rental and occupancy levels continued to increase across the country. The average occupancy rate of all categories of hotels was about 70% in 2007. In Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore 5-star hotels were among some of the costliest hotels in the world in 2007, which prompted various companies to hold corporate events in two-star or three-star hotels outside of these cities. Room rates in branded hotels are very high, therefore several unbranded hotels have emerged however these also command relatively high room rates. There is concern that if room rates continue to increase, they will become a deterrent to tourists, therefore there is expected to be some form of correction with regard to pricing in leading cities such as Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore.
Low cost carriers continue to gain in strength
In 2007, there were at least a dozen low cost carriers operating on domestic routes in India and there were several more offering very competitive airfares on international routes. The development of low cost carriers has resulted in an incredible amount of choice for Indian travellers and has enabled many more middle-income consumers to afford to fly for business as well as leisure purposes.
Boom in travel and tourism has wide-reaching effects
Various categories of travel and tourism have benefited from the boom in travel and tourism in India. Players in hotels have experienced high rates of occupancy and room rates have increased in all categories of hotels. Travel accommodation was in short supply in all leading tourist destinations in India in 2007. In travel retail, travel agents have benefited from demand for new travel packages and new products as well as new destinations among increasingly demanding domestic tourists. Many travel agencies have also witnessed a sharp increase in demand for outbound tourism packages. New opportunities have also arisen to offer niche tourism products such as medical tourism, adventure tourism and spa tourism packages.
