One of the largest service industries in the country, travel and tourism services generate employment among a large section of the population and are also a significant contributor to the gross domestic product (GDP). Travel services have prospered in recent years largely due to the rising income levels among the population and a marked improvement in the country’s travel-based infrastructure. Travel services in India include different categories of services such as tour operators, personal and business travel agencies and transport service providers.
