Shreeram Patel, Secretary General, TAAI, said the travel industry will be increasingly experience-driven and technology-powered by 2026. “Younger travellers will fuel demand for meaningful journeys, with AI dominating trip planning, personalisation and pricing. Sustainable and slow travel will gain momentum, while travellers spend smarter, favouring quality, curated, and purpose-led experiences over volume-driven tourism.”
