Trevolution, a travel division of Dyninno Group with over two decades of industry experience,
has announced its commercial results for 2024, showcasing remarkable growth in travel
demand to India. A total of over 110,140 airline tickets to and from India have been sold across
traditional leisure tourism, business travel, as well as the emerging Visiting Friends and
Relatives (VFR) segment last year, resulting in more than 140 million USD in gross bookings.
Meanwhile, the Group’s total gross bookings surpassed $1.2 billion, marking 2024 a year of
record growth globally.
Key 2024 Highlights:
• Gross bookings for trips to and from India—the total dollar value, generally inclusive of taxes
and fees—reached $140.78 million, marking a 2.65% increase from the previous year and
contributing 11.37% to the Group’s overall gross bookings.
• The total number of tickets issued to and from India amounted to 110,141, marking a strong
25.55% increase compared to 2023;

Historically, India has been a top travel choice for the Group’s air passengers, and throughout 2024,
the demand for transpacific flights coming to the country increased by one-fifth (20.5%). However,
outbound tourism sector was the one showing the highest surge going up significantly by 42.5% last
year, which indicates the country’s progressive economic boom and stability. At the same time,
domestic travel has soared, with a remarkable 330% increase in flights within India compared to 2023.
Family-friendly destinations, adventure and spiritual trips, cultural tours, as well as extended
weekend getaways are gaining significant traction, driving growth in the local tourism sector.

In 2024, round trips made up 70.2% of tickets to India, down from 78.9% in 2023. Meanwhile, oneway tickets accounted for 71.4% of bookings (up 6.6% from 2023) as more travelers opt for long-term
stays abroad.
As the airline industry returns to its pre-pandemic capacity and jet fuel prices remain steady, the
global airfare increase has been slowing down, making international travel more accessible.
According to the Group’s latest data, 29.47% of travelers to India in 2024 booked flights over 90 days
in advance, down 3% from last year. Meanwhile, 17.87% of inbound flights were purchased within 10
days (up from 13.6%), and 35.9% secured tickets within a month (up from 31.2%), reflecting a rise in
last-minute bookings alongside growing travel confidence.

Air passengers originating from India are booking later, with less than 16% purchasing tickets over
three months in advance (down from 19.3% in 2023). Instead, over one-fourth of customers secured
their trips up to 10 days in advance, showing a slight 2% increase in last-minute bookings from 2023.
