TRAVEL AND TOURISM INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

Travel and Tourism industry is an important, even vital, mode of income generator for many countries. Its importance was recognized as an activity essential to the life of nations because of its direct effects on the social, cultural, educational, and economic sectors of national societies and on their international relations. Tourism brings in large amounts of income into a local economy in the form of payment for goods and services needed by tourists, accounting for 30% of the world's trade of services, and 6% of overall exports of goods and services. It also creates opportunities for employment in the service sector of the economy associated with the industry.

 

The service industries which benefit from tourism include transportation services, such as airlines, cruise ships, and taxicabs; hospitality services, such as accommodations, including hotels and resorts; and entertainment venues, such as amusement parks, casinos, shopping malls, music venues, and theatres. This is in addition to goods bought by tourists, including souvenirs, clothing and other supplies.

 

Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. Tourism can be domestic or international, and international tourism has both incoming and outgoing implications on a country’s balance of payments. Today, tourism as a major source of income for many countries, affects the economy of both the source and host countries.

 

Sustainable tourism is envisaged as leading to management of all resources in such a way that economic, social and aesthetic needs can be fulfilled while maintaining cultural integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and life support systems." World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).

 

As a result of the late-2000s recession, international arrivals suffered a strong slowdown beginning in June 2008. However, evidence suggests that tourism as a global phenomena shows no signs of substantially abating in the long term. It has been suggested that travel is necessary in order to maintain relationships, as social life is increasingly networked and conducted at a distance. For many travel is being viewed as a necessity rather than a luxury, and this is reflected in tourist numbers recovering and increasing day by day despite recession.

 

The UNWTO forecasts that international tourism will continue growing at the average annual rate of 4%. With the advent of e-commerce, tourism products have become one of the most traded items on the internet. Tourism products and services have been made available through intermediaries, although tourism providers (hotels, airlines, etc.), including small-scale operators, can sell their services directly. This has put pressure on intermediaries from both on-line and traditional shops.

 

According to World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) estimates, the international tourism expenditure exceeded the expectations with estimated growth of 4% in 2013, compared with its previous estimate of 3.1%. The growth in international tourism expenditure is partially offset however by weaker growth in domestic tourism expenditure and Travel and Tourism investment, which is expected to grow 2.8% rather than the 3.2%predicted at the start of the year.

 

It has been suggested there is a strong correlation between tourism expenditure per capita and the degree to which countries play in the global context. Not only as a result of the important economic contribution of the tourism industry, but also as an indicator of the degree of confidence with which global citizens leverage the resources of the globe for the benefit of their local economies. This is why any projections of growth in tourism may serve as an indication of the relative influence that each country will exercise in the future.

 

The developments in technology and transport infrastructure, such as jumbo jets, low-cost airlines and more accessible airports have made travel more affordable. There is a significant increase in sale of travel products through internet. Some sites have now started to offer dynamic packaging, in which an inclusive price is quoted for a tailor-made package requested by the customer upon impulse.

 

There have been many setbacks to the industry, such as the terrorist threats to tourist destinations, natural calamities and disasters, continuous political unrest in many countries which hampered the industry operations with a substantial impact on the economies of many countries.

 

Despite the inherent challenges faced by the industry, the expectations on performance are positive and the industry is poised to grow, outpace the past growth trends and remain a leading generator of revenue and jobs. There has been an up-trend in tourism in the recent past, especially in the middle class and upper middle class traveler segment. International travel for short breaks has become common. Tourists have a wide range of budgets and tastes, and a wide variety of choice. New emerging markets and consumer segments will continue to fuel the Industry's growth trajectory, with e and m-Commerce adding impetus.

 

INDIAN TRAVEL, TOURISM AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE INDUSTRY

 

India with its rich cultural heritage of art and architecture, natural beauty, diversity of religions, culture, food and customs, fascinate budget and luxury travelers a like. Travel and tourism is one of the largest service industry in India. India as tourist destination has been improving its competitiveness and expand its existing tourism products to ensure employment generation and economic growth.

 

Air transportation sales are forecast to grow dramatically thanks to low air travel penetration. Low-cost carriers are helping to shake up the market. Domestic travel is predicted to reach 1.6 billion trips by 2016 driven by the desire of the rising middle classes to explore their own country. (Source: World Travel Market Global Trends Report2012) India's domestic tourism is strong, and leisure and pilgrim tourism are both leading sectors. Rising income is fuelling outbound travel and foreign tourist arrivals in India are forecast to record yearly growth of 8% through 2014. The industry is fragmented and intensely competitive, though not very organized.

 

Foreign Tourist Arrivals (FTAs): FTAs in India during 2013 (January to June provisional estimates) is 3.31 million with a growth of 2.6%, as compared to the FTAs of 6.58 million during the year 2012 with a growth of 4.3% during the year 2012 over 2011. (Source: Ministry of Tourism, India)

 

Foreign Exchange Earnings (FEEs) from Tourism: FEEs from tourism in rupeetermsduring2013 (January to June provisional estimates) were Rs. 50448 crore with a growth of 15.3%, as compared to the FEEs of Rs. 94487 crore with a growth of 21.8% during the year 2012 over 2011. FEEs in USD terms during (January to June provisional estimate) 2013were USD 9.2 billion as compared to FEEs of USD 17.7 billion during the year 2012 and USD16.5 billion during the year 2011 (Source: Ministry of Tourism, India).

 

TRAVEL AND RELATED SERVICES

 

LEISURE TRAVEL (OUTBOUND):

 

This year has been a mixed bag for the travel industry in India, considering the devaluation of the rupee against the US dollar, taxation issues and announcements at the policy level. The second most populous country reported the slowest rate of growth since2002; GDP slipped from 5.0% in 2012 to 4.5% in 2013.

 

The Indian Rupee (INR) depreciated by-13%-15% in 2013 over 2012; additionally with the economic slowdown and inflation (Consumer Price Index) rising from 9.3% in 2012 to 10.9%in 2013 have adversely affected the outbound travel spend of India.

 

Further, rising fuel costs has resulted in higher airline ticket prices while inflation has resulted in higher operating costs. These factors have together made outbound travel more expensive and travellers have reduced the frequency of outbound travel. Data from respective Tourism Boards, showed an approximate 12% decline in Indians travelling to popular destinations across the world in 2013 over 2012.

 

Despite these factors affecting their Company's outbound business, the business continues to grow in a challenging 2013.

 

Leisure Travel has further expanded its distribution network by opening several new stores and appointing new franchisees across the country as well as in overseas market total NRI segment.

 

The Company added 24 new Gold Circle Partners in India, 2 GCPs in Nepal and Sri Lanka and 9 new branches in 2013. Beyond the conventional medial channels, the Company extensively undertook roadshows, consumer holiday carnivals and other events to promote the leisure products. The Company saw commendable tractions from the Pan India 10 city road shows to reach out to B2B partners, to promote their products and product differentiation, covering 1000+ travel agents. The Company is slowly moving from the traditional marketing investments in print/TV to digital space targeting the emergent HENRY (High Earners Not Rich Yet) customer segment.

 

Leisure Travel Outbound continued the concept of launching wide range of products. The Company expanded its reach by ensuring it has products right from Super Budget, Budget to Premium and Royale category, thus reaching to a larger market segment with wide choices.

 

Improvised products targeting customer segments through value add and customer friendly options for Marathi/ Gujarati/Jain/Tamil/ Kannada tours.

 

Improvised products targeting customer segments through value add and customer friendly options for Marathi/ Gujarati/Jain/Tamil/ Kannada tours.

 

In 2013, apart from the regular escorted tours, customized holidays and adhoc groups the Company also introduced the below new concepts:

 

  • Holiday Pe Holiday Offer: The Company was the first to launch summer 2014 group tours as early as October 2013, via a unique concept of "Holiday Pe Holiday offer". It offered options to travelers to Europe for a free trip to Far East. Thiswas evidenced to be an impetus to improve customer experience and loyalty.

 

  • Regional Tours: Apart from the existing regional tours, the Company introduced Durga Puja Holidays specially for its Bengali clients.

 

  • University Tours: For the first time the Company launched university tours under the brand of "Travel and Learn" giving Indian students to visit Universities abroad along with city tours. The new forte has already shown good traction from their student customer base and promises to be a budding avenue.

 

  • Long weekend Tours: Keeping in mind the long weekends, the Company introduced tours like Independence day special, F1 tours, etc.

 

  • Holy Land Tours: This is one segment which was untapped for years and in 2013for the first time, they captured this segment which is more about religious tourism and their holy land tours were a big success.

 

  • Targeting youth and Family: New concepts such as Hostelling / Apartment Stays /Villa Stay Packages / Rail Expeditions / Unique Stay Options were introduced for the first time in 2013 and is proving to be a high growth trajectory.

 

  • Escorted group departures for 2013 included: Europe, USA-Canada, Australia-New Zealand, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

 

  • New destinations introduced were South America, Philippines, South America, Korea, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Jordan.

 

  • Trade Fairs: This new business vertical was launched to focus on the business traveler, whether SME, Indian corporates or MNCs, attending Trade Fairs worldwide.

 

The Company's operations through DMC (Destination Management Company) in Europe, direct contracting with hotels has enabled in pricing and delivering products more competitively and thereby resulting in improved Company performance.

 

The online portal has developed into a very user friendly and mobile friendly platform for users to explore all their group and individual tour options, pricing and book online with ease. With call center support, the Company has witnessed burgeoning growth in enquiries and calls for Holidays.

 

World Travel andTourism Council (WTTC) predicts the number of Indian out bound travelers to touch 50 million by 2020 with a forecast GDP growth @ 4.7% in 2014. Those optimistic about the growth in the segment believe that a significant contribution will come from business travelers, adventure travelers and the youth. There is also a growing consensus that emerging destinations will be on the must-visit list of holidaymakers, and that short-haul destinations will also continue to see good demand; in the light of which Thomas Cook is driving and improvising their Leisure offers.

 

With continuous effort to offer quality leisure experience to a wide range of customers with various prices/product options, increasing focus on FIT customized packages, indulgence, short haul destinations the Company is bullish on continuing a robust growth in 2014. Early 2014 seeing an improvement in India's GDP and easing of inflations will be highly supportive to the Company's growth plans.

 

LEISURE TRAVEL (INBOUND):

 

Inbound Tourism grew a modest 4% in 2013 which is less than 5% growth in 2012 and 9% in2011. Foreign exchange earnings in rupee terms registered a growth of 12% in 2013 over2012 as compared to 22%in2012over2011.

 

The depreciation of rupee by 12% did make India a more attractive destination, but inbound tourism has not grown to the expectations due to sluggish economic climate insource markets in 2013. Other key reasons for poor growth of the leisure inbound travel business in India are as under:

 

  • Lack of proper infrastructure
  • Lack of Language speaking guides, particularly in South India and East India
  • Poor maintenance of the tourist touch points such as railway stations, hotels, tourist spots etc.
  • Growing concerns over the physical security of the tourists, particularly women and children.

 

Ministry is trying to ease its visa regime and extension of visa on arrival facility to40 countries. Currently it is available to 11 countries. During the period of Jan-Dec2013, total number of visas on arrivals issued were 26% higher than the corresponding period of 2012. They encourage and propose that Ministry must look at the opportunity of introducing e-visa to augment tourism growth. Other measures such as tie-up with the SAARC countries (e.g. Sri Lanka, Nepal etc.), free visa to the tourists to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore etc. will also help in increasing the inbound tourist arrivals into the country.(Source: Ministry of Tourism website)

 

For over 50 years, Travel Corporation (India) Limited. (TCI) has perfected the art of making the entire travel experience memorable. TCI is India's premier Destination Management Company with an impeccable record in all aspects of leisure inbound travel business in India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Mauritius. Maintaining its position as the “Best Inbound Tour Operator", TCI has further consolidated its presence in the leisure inbound travel industry with offices across 12 cities in India, 7 marketing offices overseas at USA, United Kingdom, Frankfurt, Spain, Japan and Nepal and Representatives in Portugal, Russia, China, Korea, Mexico and Australia.

 

ACHIEVEMENTS:

 

  • Reiterating its reputation as pioneers, MICE Team braved challenges of language, local procedures and approvals, to successfully manage a movement of 1150 top dealers from the Paints industry to Japan.

 

  • Movement of 1000 plus passengers in one shot was handled to Dubai, Japan, Malaysia successfully.

 

  • TCIL MICE was selected to handle the prestigious Havel’s movement of 650 premier dealers to Norwegian cruise.

 

  • First time ever in the history of Thomas Cook MICE, with increased focus on domestic business, the Company managed to cater to a conference of 2000 dealers of the automobile industry. Further, the Company registered a growth of 19% in overall MICE domestic sales.

 

  • A special exclusive "Ladies Only" incentive tour of 450 was conducted to Malaysia.

 

ACQUISITIONS

 

The Company is committed to build long term shareholder value by growing the business organically and through acquisitions and alliances. The key considerations for making any acquisition are as under:

 

  • Cash flow generating businesses with proven track across business cycles
  • Stable management teams who are aligned with our guiding principles and culture
  • Fair and friendly transactions with full support of the existing management teams

 

In May 2013, the Company acquired a 74.85% stake on a fully diluted basis in IKYA Human Capital Solutions Limited, the third largest temporary staffing company in India employing over 70,000 employees, for a total consideration of Rs. 2,568.20 million. IKYA is run by a seasoned manager and entrepreneur, Ajit Isaac. IKYA offers specialized human resources services including search, recruitment, project based hiring, general and professional staffing, skill development, and facilities management to over 500 leading Indian corporate clients through 32 offices, with 1,400 team members and over 54,000associates. By virtue of this investment, the Company has broadened its portfolio of service-related businesses with an entry into one of the world's largest human resource markets.

 

In February 2014, the Company announced the acquisition of a controlling stake of Sterling Holiday Resorts (India) Limited which will be followed by merger with Subject. Sterling Holiday Resorts is a leading time share vacation ownership company that was founded by R. Subramanian in 1986. Sterling Holiday Resorts owns and operates 10 resorts (approximately 1,100 rooms with additional 350 more rooms coming on stream by next year) and has an additional 400 rooms under management on long term leases across 9 resorts. Sterling also owns 210 acres of land at the prominent tourist locations in the country. Of this, Sterling has 10 owned resorts constructed on 60 acres of land and the balance 150 acres is available for development of resorts in the future. Sterling Holiday Resorts has about 79,000 members but only about 25,000 of them are currently actively holidaying with the company. This provides a huge potential to get more members to holiday with the company and sell the additional memberships for which the capex has already been invested.

As such, the following would be the composition of the Primary Business Segments:

Financial Services- Includes wholesale & retail purchase and sale of foreign currencies and paid documents.

Travel and Related Services- Includes tour operations, travel management, visa services and travel insurance and related services.

Human Resource Services- Includes staffing services, facilities management services, selection services, training fees and food service.
