ETOA & NTC Webinar | India, the next travel powerhouse

India looks likely to take over from China as the largest global travel source market.

Topics covered:

• What type of programmes and destinations are they looking for?
• What are the key segments of the Indian market?
• What sort of Indian travellers are we likely to see as the market recovers?
• How can destinations adapt to the Indian market?
