Travel Services Market in India: Introduction of Low-cost Airlines
Airlines are one of the most preferred modes of travel among tourists and travelers owing to their comfort and short duration of travel. Bulk booking of airline tickets often turns out to be quite heavy on the customers’ pocket. Hence, travelers are increasingly looking for cheap or economic airfares to fulfill their requirements without needing them to incur the extra cost burden. The introduction of low-cost airlines has been a relief for travelers and holiday and tour package service providers. This has also encouraged companies from the SME business sector to opt for air travel for business trips. Thus, the growing investments in the development and introduction of low-cost airlines are further expected to augment the travel services market in India during the forecast period.
Rising number of marketing and promotional activities and technological advances in mobile- and website-based travel service platforms, will boost the travel services market growth in India during the forecast period,” says a senior analyst at Technavio.
