#163 ‘Reconnect Not Revenge Travel’: Jyoti M, President, Travel Agents Association of India

What are some of the emerging trends for travel within and outside India? For Indians, the ambitions seem to be sky-high. 86% of Indian travelers plan to take the same number, if not more, trips abroad in 2024 compared to 2023, according to a Sky Scanner report.While making a point about the resurgence of travel during the pandemic, Jyoti Mayl, President of the Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI), says she could never associate travel with revenge.
