Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) are two distinct yet interlinked segments within the tourism market, especially when considering travel to India and destinations with a significant Indian cultural influence. NRIs are individuals holding Indian citizenship who reside outside India for work, education, or other purposes while maintaining their Indian passports and legal status as Indian citizens. In contrast, PIOs are individuals of Indian ancestry who are citizens of another country, except those from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and certain other restricted nations, and who may hold special status such as the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card. While NRIs retain stronger legal and emotional ties with India, PIOs often maintain cultural and familial ties but may not have the same depth of attachment or familiarity with contemporary Indian society. This distinction influences their travel behavior, expectations, and motivations, making it essential for tourism marketers to develop targeted strategies for both groups. NRIs often travel to India for family visits, festivals, social events such as weddings, religious pilgrimages, or even investment opportunities in real estate and business. Their travel is typically more frequent and tied to specific occasions or obligations. In contrast, PIOs may visit India to connect with their ancestral roots, explore heritage sites, and immerse themselves in cultural experiences that they _____________ ___ _____ _______ __________ ___ _________ __________ _____________ _____________ ___________ ________ ____________ _________ ________.
