Indians on the Move: Travel & Disposable Income:
The travel scene in India is booming, forget just stashing away your disposable income, people are increasingly opting for investment in experiences – exploring new cultures and creating memories that last a lifetime. This shift in spending habits reflects a growing desire for adventure and a break from the everyday. India is expected to become the fourth largest global spender on travel by 2030, and by then the middle class, with increased purchasing power, will make 47% of its population, say reports by Booking.com-McKinsey & Company, and People Research on India’s Consumer Economy-India’s Citizen Environment (PRICE-ICE), respectively.
