The summer exodus
FORTY…41…42.5…43. The mercury is on a relentless rise and temperatures in most parts of India are soaring. Millions of Indians would be busy packing their bags and preparing to head out to the mountains and cooler climes of hill stations. School children and college kids would have finished their exams and are eagerly looking forward to that long vacation.
Summer time is holiday time in India and millions of Indians will be enjoying their dream holidays. Indeed, it might come as a surprise to many of our readers that a mind-boggling 1.2 billion domestic tourists travel across the country every year. In contrast, less than 7.5 million foreign tourists visit the country.
India’s domestic tourism sector – comprising hotels and resorts, tour operators, taxi and car rental firms, retailers, vendors at informal bazaars and of course airlines – is booming as the travel bug bites millions of Indians. Our cover story this month focuses on this remarkable business that has transformed dramatically in recent years.
In our Urban Spaces section we talk about Mumbai’s western suburbs, where new projects keep popping up with amazing frequency. Our guest columnist this month, Shobhit Agarwal, managing director of the capital markets division of international property consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle (now known as JLL), writes about the new curbs imposed by the Reserve Bank of India on inflows into the real estate sector from a few countries.
In our Heritage and Culture section, we have inspiring write-ups on Lord Hanuman and on Goswami Tulsi Das, the composer of Ram Charita Manas. In the Home and Office Spaces section, read about how to do up your study rooms, while Dr Ravi Rao’s Vaastu Tips has special advice for those planning these rooms.
