The September-October 2023 issue of India Outbound is out. One of the several niches of the outbound travel market in India relates to educational tourism, or short-term field trips organised by colleges and schools to give an exposure to some landmark sites of learning and technological excellence, with a fair bit of leisure and pleasure thrown in. As with almost every other part of outbound travel from India, educational tourism, too, is booming and attracting newer players. Read in this issue, how the incumbents are warding off the new entrants and how the market is expanding rapidly to Tier II cities across India.

In this issue, we also bring you an eyewitness account of a unique spiritual and cultural celebration in Spain, the Templar Nights celebration on first full moon night of the summer, that marks the return of victorious Templar Knights from Jerusalem to Ponferrada, a tiny town in Castilla-y-Leon province.
