The Indian travel distribution system is highly fragmented and varied across the country. Whilst there are a few national retail agencies, most agents are small, independent businesses, and contribute a varying percentage of business to Australia. Anecdotally, 10 per cent of agents contribute 20 per cent of the business to Australia, and 90 per cent of agents contribute 80 per cent of business. Indian consumers are researching and booking their trips using a combination of traditional travel agencies and online options, however retail agencies still handle most of the outbound travel from India.
