Sanjay Hakhu, Director, Sphere Travelmedia said, “International borders are slowly opening up and few destinations are gearing up to welcome tourists. India has always been a key source market for many international tourist destinations. And with the current rate of vaccination drive being carried out in the country, it is just a matter of time for tourists to embark on overseas travel.”
Rohit Hangal, Director, Sphere Travelmedia added “With India slowly emerging out of the Pandemic and with increasing vaccination ‘Domestic Tourism’ will be the main focus this year. We, as the organizers of India International Travel Mart intend to provide the right impetus to the Indian domestic tourism segment. The easing of travel restrictions and states opening up their borders for tourism, domestic tourism will certainly see a surge. The base of over 500 million discerning domestic travel seekers, it is a yearlong bankable market, no hospitality and travel organization can ignore. The pent-up demand from lockdown fatigues will boost domestic tourism figures to a new high.”
