Domestic tourist visits touched 4,132.8 million in 2025, based on data furnished by States and Union Territories. The strong volume reaffirms domestic tourism as the backbone of the sector, driving regional economies, sustaining hospitality demand, and supporting infrastructure utilisation across diverse destinations, stated a report by the Ministry of Tourism.
The Ministry of Tourism report underscores sustained post-pandemic recovery momentum, with states reporting widespread travel across pilgrimage, leisure, cultural, and emerging rural circuits. The data highlights domestic travel’s critical role in stabilising occupancy levels, boosting ancillary services, and cushioning the industry against global uncertainties impacting inbound flows.
