The number of domestic tourists has almost doubled from 309 Mn in 2003 to 612 Mn in 2008. Similarly, the<br />
number of foreign tourist visits has doubled between 2003 and 2008.<br />
Close to 90% of the above visits are fuelled <strong>by</strong> domestic travelers and the dependence on the foreign<br />
travelers is miniscule (only 2%) as shown in Exhibit 2.<br />

The most important growth driver is the robust economic growth that has been witnessed in the country.<br />
India’s GDP has been growing at a rate of 6% since the liberalization of economy in 1991 and has grown<br />
over 8% in the past a few years. At 8% CAGR, India’s GDP would almost triple from US$ 1200 Bn to US$<br />
3500 Bn <strong>by</strong> 2023.<br />
Currently, India is the 12th largest economy in the world in absolute terms and is expected to overtake most<br />
of the European nations in the next 15 to 20 years. It will eventually become the world’s 3rd or 4th largest<br />
economy <strong>by</strong> 2050. Despite the recent economic downturn, various industry sources still peg the economic<br />
growth at over 6%.<br />
India’s strong economic growth has caused the GDP per capita to increase rapidly over the past 5 to 10<br />
years. At the current rate, the GDP per capita in 2013 would be double of what it was in 2003.<br />
More and more families are expected to leave the deprived or aspirers category (annual household income<br />
less than US$ 4200) and join India’s burgeoning middle class. By 2025, the Indian middle class is<br />
expected to constitute 46% of the Indian population. Subsequently, discretionary spends would be<br />
going up and this bodes well for the tourism sector.<br />
In 2005, the Indian middle class was approximately 6% of the population, but is expected to constitute 46%<br />
of the population <strong>by</strong> 2025.<br />
