India overtakes China as Asia’s biggest source of tourists, especially to the US
Date: June 24, 2023
In a significant milestone for India’s tourism industry, the country has emerged as the leading source of tourists from Asia, surpassing China. Notably, India’s outbound travelers have shown a notable preference for the United States as their destination of choice.
Recent data released by international tourism organizations and travel agencies reveal a remarkable shift in travel trends, as Indian tourists increasingly explore destinations beyond their borders. India’s rising middle class, coupled with increased disposable income and a growing appetite for international travel experiences, has contributed to this notable achievement.
According to the latest figures, India’s outbound tourism market has witnessed a steady growth rate, resulting in a surge of Indian tourists venturing abroad. While China had long held the title of Asia’s largest source of tourists, India has now overtaken its neighbor, carving out a prominent position in the global tourism landscape.
The United States, in particular, has emerged as a preferred destination for Indian travelers. The allure of iconic landmarks, cultural experiences, world-class education, and business opportunities has attracted a significant number of Indian tourists to American cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago.
The rise in Indian tourists visiting the United States has not gone unnoticed by the travel industry. Many airlines and travel agencies have responded by expanding their services and offerings to cater to the growing demand. Direct flights, attractive travel packages, and tailored experiences are being developed to capture the attention of Indian travelers seeking to explore the diverse landscapes and attractions of the United States.
The increase in Indian tourists visiting the United States also presents a significant economic opportunity for the hospitality, retail, and tourism sectors in the country. Local businesses are adjusting their strategies to cater to the unique needs and preferences of Indian travelers, creating an environment that welcomes and accommodates their interests.
Tourism boards in both India and the United States are working collaboratively to enhance the travel experience for Indian visitors, promoting cultural exchanges and facilitating smoother travel processes. Efforts are being made to streamline visa procedures, provide multilingual assistance, and offer information tailored specifically to Indian tourists.
The growing dominance of India as Asia’s primary source of tourists underscores the potential for further growth in the tourism industry. It also highlights the need for continued investment in infrastructure, services, and marketing campaigns to ensure that Indian tourists have a positive experience and are encouraged to explore a diverse range of destinations worldwide.
As India’s outbound tourism market continues to flourish, industry stakeholders, governments, and travel operators are embracing this shift and actively engaging in efforts to promote sustainable and responsible tourism practices. This landmark achievement reinforces the importance of fostering strong international partnerships and nurturing cultural exchanges to create a more interconnected and inclusive global tourism landscape.
With India’s tourism industry poised for further growth, all eyes are now on the collaborative efforts to enhance travel experiences and explore new horizons, as Indian tourists embark on exciting journeys across the globe.

A significant controversy ensued following Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized Maharashtra Opposition and Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar for claiming actor Kangana Ranaut’s post on Twitter about her beef preferences and the BJP’s decision to grant her a Lok Sabha election ticket.
Shaina NC, a BJP leader in Maharashtra, criticised Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar’s comments and other ludicrous remarks made by Congress leaders. She stated that Wadettiwar’s actions, including granting Kangana Ranaut a ticket due to her beef consumption, are not the first time Congress has made such ludicrous remarks.
Shaina criticizes Congress social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate’s post against Ranaut, claiming that Shrinate’s comments and Randeep Surjewala’s discussion about Hema Malini’s attributes are anti-women, despite her age.
Shaina pledged that all women would participate in the voting process, and the results on June 4 would provide a “fitting answer to Congress.”
The Prime Minister of India has ensured respect for women in various political parties, including Triple Talaq and Nari Shakti Vandan. If the Congress party lacks thought processes, the answer will be on June 4 when Indian women vote against the anti-woman Congress party.
Supriya Shrinate’s post that sparked controversy
Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who received a BJP ticket from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha election, sparked a massive controversy.
Kangana, in response to Shrinate’s post, emphasized that every woman deserves respect and dignity. She shared her 20-year career as an artist, which includes portraying various women, from naive girls in Queen to seductive spy in Dhaakad, goddesses in Manikarnika, demons in Chandramukhi, prostitutes in Rajjo, and revolutionary leaders in Thalaivii.
The Congress leader later revealed that someone with access to her social media accounts had posted objectionable content.

The Congress’s manifesto promised legal guarantees to MSP, a national minimum wage of ₹400 per day, and a nationwide caste census.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress for its Lok Sabha election manifesto, claiming it was influenced by the Muslim League.
Modi criticized Congress’s manifesto, which he said reflected the same mindset as the Muslim League’s during the freedom movement, at a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur, where voters will vote in the first phase of Lok Sabha elections on April 19.
The Congress manifesto is largely influenced by the Muslim League, with any remaining parts being dominated by leftists.
The Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, stated that the BJP government is committed to implementing government schemes that cater to all sections, castes, and communities.
Modi’s attack comes after the Congress released its general election manifesto, emphasizing the ‘five pillars of justice’, including ‘Yuva Nyay’, ‘Naari Nyay’, ‘Kisaan Nyay’, ‘Shramik Nyay’, and ‘Hissedari Nyay’.
The Congress has pledged legal guarantees for the minimum support price, a national minimum wage of ₹400 per day, personal law reform, and a nationwide caste census.
Congress has announced that the MSP payable to farmer-sellers at procurement centers and APMCs will be directly credited to the farmer’s bank account digitally.
The grand old party announced that Congress will create and execute a robust import-export policy for agricultural commodities, prioritizing the protection of farmers’ interests and concerns.
The Lok Sabha elections will commence on April 19, with subsequent phases scheduled for April 26, May 7, 13, 20, 25, and June 1, with the vote counting scheduled for June 4.

Fernandes, a former navy captain from Kargil war, believes his candidacy represents the voice of every Goan and intends to bring it to Parliament.
The Congress party has announced its list of six candidates for both North and South Goa parliamentary seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, announced by AICC general secretary K C Venugopal.
Congress has selected former Union minister Ramakant Khalap for the North Goa seat and former Navyman Viriato Fernandes for the South Goa seat.
Fernandes, a former navy captain from Kargil war, believes his candidacy represents the voice of every Goan and intends to bring it to Parliament.
Fernandes stated that the ticket is for all Goans and activists who have been protesting against the injustices of the BJP government, including issues like unemployment, inflation, industrialization of Goa’s coast through coal handling projects, and railway double tracking.
The ruling party is threatening democracy by controlling independent institutions and using them to harass opposition figures, including former Jharkhand and Delhi chief ministers Hemant Soren and Arvind Kejriwal, in an unprecedented attack on democracy.
Fernandes, who previously lost to BJP’s Mauvin Godinho in the 2022 Goa legislative assembly polls, will face Pallavi Dempo, the first woman MP candidate named by the BJP, in the upcoming election.
Khalap represented the north Goa seat from 1996 to 1998, winning it for the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party.
Khalap, a seven-time MLA, is set to challenge BJP MP Shripad Naik for the North Goa seat, aiming to retain it for a sixth consecutive term.
The party has announced candidates for three seats in Madhya Pradesh and one for the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
Goa’s Lok Sabha seats will be voted for during the third phase of voting on May 7, with the counting of votes scheduled for June 4.
