Travel takes off from new markets
Travel | India | Asia-Pacific
June 17, 2024 – Summer has arrived in the Northern hemisphere. All this week, our daily charts will focus on travel and tourism. We’ll explore shifting travel preferences, new business models, luxury travel, disruptions affecting the industry, and more.
Eastern Europe, India, and Southeast Asia have fast-growing pools of first-time tourists, senior partner Caroline Tufft and coauthors find. These are comparatively small source markets, and their travelers spend less per person per night than Western European travelers, but travel spending from these regions is expected to grow by 7, 9, and 7 percent, respectively, between 2023 and 2030.
