Indian travelers spent $34.2 billion on outbound travel in 2023, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council. But the current level of Indian travel is "minuscule" compared with what's to come, Alan Watts, Hilton's Asia-Pacific president, told "Squawk Box Asia" Monday. "India outbound will be the story of the next decade." By 2034, Indian travelers' outbound spend is projected to more than double to $76.8 billion, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council's Economic Impact 2024 report — which would make the country the seventh-largest travel spenders in the world, up from 12th in 2023. "When you think of India, it has the characteristics of China, which is the second largest lodging market in the world," said Watts.

During the first nine months of 2024, international arrivals worldwide reached 98% of pre-pandemic levels, compared to the same period in 2019, it said. The remaining 2% gap will close this month, according to the organization, marking a momentous shift in the industry into a new era of growth. Growth in the region during that timeframe was led by an increase of visitors to Qatar (+141%) and Saudi Arabia (+61%), it said. Epicenter of global growthInternational travel in Asia-Pacific may be lagging behind today, but it's expected to be the epicenter of global travel growth in the coming decades. 'Back with a vengeance'Global recovery has been thwarted by the slow return of two types of travelers: Chinese outbound travelers and business travelers.

☆ AI Tech Like ChaptGPT, Bing, Bard Is a Bigger Threat Than Social Media
  + stars: | 2023-03-14 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +13 min
Nowadays, the promise of social media as a unifying force for good has all but collapsed, and Zuckerberg is slashing thousands of jobs after his company's rocky pivot to the metaverse. Much like social media in 2012, the AI industry is standing on the precipice of immense change. And as Altman and his cohort charge ahead, AI could fundamentally reshape our economy and lives even more than social media. If social media helped expose the worst impulses of humanity on a mass scale, generative AI could be a turbocharger that accelerates the spread of our faults. Social media amplified society's issues, as Wooldridge puts it.
