Paul: Indian Wealthy Class is Growing Travel Market
The luxury travel category is booming, with hotels, airlines and the industry chasing so-called aspirational holidaymakers, who're prepared to splurge on vacations. Demand is being driven by increasing wealth in emerging markets, especially in India. Priya Paul, chairperson of Apeejay Surrendra Park Hotels, which operates a chain of luxury boutique hotels in India, is hoping to capitalise on this trend, saying that she plans to 'double' the number of properties offered by the company over the next five years. Paul spoke to Bloomberg's Francine Lacqua. (Source: Bloomberg)
