Manav Soni, CEO, Exclusive Travels; MC Member, and Chairman, Tourism Committee, TAAI, pointed to structural challenges impacting travel pricing at the latest edition of TravTalk ThinkTank. “There is a big mismatch between demand and supply right now,” he said. Soni explained that reduced connectivity and limited inventory have led to a surge in airfares. He added that with demand remaining strong, airlines are adjusting pricing strategies accordingly, making airfare volatility a key concern for both agents and travellers.
