India is one of the fastest growing markets for inbound international travel to the United States, with NTTO forecasting a 72% increase in arrivals from 2015 through 2021.
This undertaking was designed to effectively position the United States and India for increased trade and travel services by bringing the governments and the private sectors in both countries together to focus on mutually beneficial opportunities within the travel sector.
Christopher L Thompson, President and CEO, Brand USA, said, “The USA offers Indian travellers a range of experiences and destinations that provide the authenticity and value Indian travellers seek and we intend to leverage the partnership year to inspire even more travellers from India to visit the USA. The key to our efforts is expanding cooperative marketing programs and B2B marketing initiatives, product development and our ongoing consumer marketing.”
