U.S. sees India travel surge
India was the U.S.’ s second top market for travelers outside of North America between April and June
In the first six months of 2023, over 800, 000 Indian travelers came to the U.S., making it America’s second largest’s non-North American market after the UK this year.
Key takeaways
- Nearly 60% of Indian travelers came to the U.S. for vacation, business or a conference in the first six months of this year;
- On average, Indian travelers spent $3,500 per trip in the U.S. The states they visited the most were California, New York and Texas;
- It’s notable is that India has recovered so quickly and is rising as top source market for the U.S. despite long visa wait times at U.S. embassies, which suggests inbound travel from the country has been heavily restrained.
