Non-metro routes had higher passenger demand than metros due to the sudden surge of COVID cases, and travel restrictions as a result of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonetheless, the demand for travel will not be much until overseas travel stages a comeback. \u00a0Though the developed countries, including Europe and the US, have been able to vaccinate a large chunk of their population, it still remains to be seen how it will actually help the inbound travel sector in the immediate future. If you take India, the US and Europe make only 16 per cent of international inbound and outbound passengers. \u00a0Even the task of vaccinating 50 per cent of the Indian population can prove challenging in itself, and further delaying (with a confluence of travel policies and restrictions) can only push the travel industry to the brink of an existential crisis. \u00a0When it comes to the travel trade, the ground situation doesn\u2019t paint a rosy picture yet.
