Between 2010 and 2019 the demand for travel and tourism in India is expected to grow annually by 8.2%, which will place India at the third position in world.

Hotel Industry in India has witnessed tremendous boom in recent years. Hotel Industry is inextricably linked to the tourism industry and the growth in the Indian tourism industry has fuelled the growth of Indian hotel industry. The arrival of low cost airlines and the associated price wars have given domestic tourists a host of options. The 'Incredible India' destination campaign and the recently launched 'Atithi Devo Bhavah' (ADB) campaign have also helped in the growth of domestic and international tourism and consequently the hotel industry.

The travel agents and tour operators subsector currently employs approximately 0.46 million people and the employment base is expected to reach 0.66 million by 2022. The sector is predominantly unorganised with establishments based on the proprietorship or small-scale partnership model. Employees in the unorganised space are either largely school graduates or dropouts with the increased thrust of inbound tourism, a large number of people might be required in the travel and tour operators segment in tier 2 and tire 3 cities and in popular tourist destinations in India.
