Speaking at ITM-Goa last week, former chairman of Thomas Cook-India, Pradip Madhavji, urged India’s tourism professionals to begin learning Chinese. As China grows, its middle class are beginning to travel more and more and India needs to become a friendly and navigable destination for the Chinese tourist if the sector is to take a share in the emerging market. Madhavj said that hordes of Chinese tourists would soon outnumber the tourist community globally and that Indians should gear up for the opportunity.
