India has become one of the fastest growing outbound tourism industries
given its favorable economic conditions, such as high growth rate of GDP,
increase in disposable income and emergence of potential entrepreneurs who aim
to mark their success globally. Further growth
is expected as a total of 32.3 million outbound trips are forecasted in 2020,
outpacing China to become the fastest growing outbound
tourism industry. As there is an increase in people shifting abroad,
there is a resultant increase in number of tourists visiting their friend and
relatives. Ignoring its positives like high and repeated
visitation, longer stays and a greater share of wallet for experiences, the VFR
segment is often mistaken to be a less-attractive segment of the outbound
tourism industry. Besides their propensity to visit with greater frequency and
stay for longer periods, VFR are cost effective to target as they can be
reached via VFR hosts in destination’s home market. Local businesses and
community associations, community press and geographic targeting have proved to
be effective means of targeting these groups.
With
a lot of Indian origin people in the UK, trips to this European nation are
because of VFR and the UK is one of the largest source markets. On the other
hand, the fast growing reason leisure has Singapore on the top of its list. India is a diverse country with multiple religion and
numerous languages, which plays an important role in the destinations people
choose. Thus, quality of the experience is critical to a perception of
value. So, it becomes important to make sure that value is attuned to Indian
needs by emphasizing uniqueness, high quality and good service are all
important.
