“The Indian traveller is constantly evolving and seeking enriching and exploratory experiences. With increased disposable income, factors like cheaper airfares and low tariffs for budget hotels, international travel plans have seen an exponential rise amongst the general Indian traveller. This helps us to tap an opportunity for helping our members get great experiences and memories with their family and friends,” said Sabina Chopra, Managing Director, RCI India.

“A huge pattern that has emerged is that Indian RCI members are opting to travel international, to newer destinations like Greece, Mexico and Finland. This report will help us to track their vacation patterns, guaranteeing that our contributions are synchronised with their evolving travel needs,” said Aruna Jathar, Director, Marketing and Operations, RCI India.
