“Importantly, this expansion will enable us to cater to a broader audience, fostering increased inbound travel to India. Our extensive coverage, offering accommodations in more than 2000 cities, will assist international tourists in discovering the hidden gems of India,” he added.
Magow acknowledged the trust and support from Indian travelers, underscoring MakeMyTrip's commitment to maintaining high standards.
