Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.
