The tourism industry is an important sector contributing about 5% or 5.22% of India\u2019s total GDP.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With summer holidays in full swing, many Indians are thinking about travelling abroad. However, on Sunday, 10th May 2026, PM Modi made an appeal asking people to avoid unnecessary foreign travel for now and instead focus on domestic tourism and exploring India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rising global tensions from ongoing conflicts, along with high crude oil prices and uncertain international conditions, are a growing concern for governments around the world. And just like several countries, the Indian government is also taking steps to maintain economic stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of this, officials believe that promoting domestic travel can help support the economy while also reducing foreign exchange outflow. India already offers a wide range of destinations and initiatives like \u201cDekho Apna Desh\u201d have long been encouraging people to explore the country. From the Lakshadweep islands, often compared to the Maldives, to Coorg, known as the \u201cScotland of India,\u201d there are many destinations within India that are still waiting to be explored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourism experts say this could also give a boost to smaller local businesses and hotels. In fact, after the pandemic years, domestic travel had already started growing fast again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a trip across India is already on your mind, this could be the perfect time to start planning. Get up to \u20b925,000 off on domestic tour packages<\/a>, and if you\u2019re travelling with little explorers, enjoy 50% off* on kids\u2019 travel within India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
