Travel and tourism in India will rise 7% annually to improve GDP contributions through sustainable development and infrastructure enhancement.

The World Travel & Tourism Council foretells that India’s travel and tourism sector will expand by 7% each year throughout the subsequent ten years. A quickly growing economy along with rising foreign investments combined with the expansion of India's middle class drives overall travel expansion nationwide and internationally.

Belonging to 7% of India’s GDP makes up the current contribution while staying close to the world standard of 10% sectorial GDP contribution. Travel and tourism will increase its share of the economy as the economic development progresses toward global market standards. Industry analysis indicates a 230 billion USD market worth that will expand at a yearly 7% rate during the following decade.

The travel and tourism sector of India will transform into a leading global tourism destination after the country invests more in infrastructure and tourism development projects. The increasing industry growth requires responsible management of sustainability as its foundation. The sector releases 4.8% of India's total greenhouse gas emissions which is a reason for environmental impact concerns.

For India to uphold its success in the travel and tourism industry long-term it needs to achieve proper balance between economic advancement and sustainability in its tourism sector.
