The August 2020 edition of India Outbound is out now! Presenting to you our special issue highlighting the current state of the outbound travel industry in India, the impact of the pandemic, and what the industry experts predict for the future. We also look at the boom in virtual tourism as tourism organisations from around the world turned to the digital world and social media to showcase destinations and experiences that travellers could enjoy even from behind the four walls of their homes.
The issue also focuses on the tourism fraternity’s plans for revival, with some green shoots of recovery already visible, even though a full recovery is a long way off.
The main highlight of the issue is how children are becoming a key factor in deciding the destinations for an ideal family vacation. Destinations and tourism sites the world over are increasingly addressing children in their communications as they become key influencers in decisions on family vacations. In a post-pandemic world, this trend is only set to strengthen further.
Other highlights of this month are:
- Laos: Land of the Legends
- A Voyage of Science: Top Attractions for Science Buffs
- Venice: The Venus of Italy
- Makoko: Voluntourism to the Fore in Post-Pandemic World
