A burgeoning middle class in India is driving a significant surge in outbound tourism, reshaping the travel landscape across Asia. Destinations from Hong Kong to Central Asia are witnessing a spike in interest from Indian travellers, fuelled by improved connectivity and affordable travel packages.

According to a recent report by India's leading online travel company, Indian residents who took two or more trips in a year increased by 32 percent from June 2023 to May 2024.

This surge is indicative of a growing appetite for international travel among the Indian population.
