India Becomes 2nd Largest Source of Air Travelers to Thailand.
India has moved up to take Thailand’s second spot in international air passengers for summer 2025, after languishing in sixth position before the launch of the Covid-19 pandemic. This transition underscores the growth in India’s outbound tourism, in part due to the expanding middle class and increasing disposable incomes in India.
With demand for travel from China and other major markets ebbing and flowing, India’s growing sway over Thailand’s tourism industry came as a much-needed fillip. With new direct flight networks and an expansion of the number of seats offered on flights between leading Indian cities and popular Thai destinations, such growth reflects India’s leading role in the revival of Southeast Asia while shifting regional air travel dynamics
Overall, this signals that not only has demand returned for one of the world’s favorite travel destinations, but travelers have a strong interest in stepping foot beyond Bangkok as we slowly re-enters the tourism market.
