India has one of the fastest growing outbound markets in Asia, and forecasts predict it will account for 40 million outbound tourists by 2020. Growing the India outbound tourism market is a big opportunity as most Indians prefer Asian countries for short-term trips. Furthermore, the growing middle class is turning to international travel more often. International leisure travelers on average are 25-65 years old. Most notably, two-thirds of these leisure travelers tend to holiday abroad with immediate and extended families.

Spain is one of the largest markets in Europe with a very strong outbound and strong low season markets. The peak of their travel is around July and August. The Spanish market is still relatively new to many marketswhich means that the market is also not yet oversupplied with products, allowing new hotels and products a good opportunity to establish a strong market presence. Majority of the Spanish Tour Operators still very much prefer to communicate in Spanish and rely much more on the recommendation of the representation company versus other source markets. The Spanish market prefers traveling in groups, allowing a good volume to your hotel.
