Emirates Holidays sees India traffic growing in double digits

MUMBAI: Emirates Holidays, the tour operating arm of the Dubai-based carrier Emirates Airlines, today said it expects a double-digit growth in business from India on the back of rising demand for leisure travel.

"India is a new market, and a much larger market we have been operating from. So in terms of growth, I would say we will record a double-digit growth in our business this year," Emirates Holiday's business development Manager for India Nadeem Ulde said here.

He, however, did not put any number to the growth projection, saying growth will be achieved on the back of a good demand for leisure travel, adding, "it (growth) would also be higher as we are relatively a new player in the market here."

Emirates Holidays has added eight new global destinations in its 'World of choice' brochures for this year, including the likes of Argentina, Denmark, Ireland, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
