凯悦酒店集团首席执行官马克·霍普拉马齐安称，印度每年接待的外国游客不足1000万人，这一现状“令人震惊”。他同时表示，印度政府吸引1亿游客的目标是有可能实现的。
Hyatt CEO Mark Hoplamazian has called it "shocking" that India receives fewer than 10 million foreign visitors a year. He also said the government's ambition of 100 million visitors is possible.
在接受CNBC-TV18《全球对话》栏目独家专访时，霍普拉马齐安表示，印度的入境总人数约为2100万至2200万，其中包括非居民印度人。他说，外国游客的到访人数不足1000万。“我们没有更多外国人来探索印度，这简直令人难以置信，”他说。
In an exclusive interview with CNBC-TV18 on Global Dialogue, Hoplamazian said India's total inbound figure of about 21 to 22 million includes non-resident Indians . Foreign arrivals, he said, are fewer than 10 million. "It's quite unbelievable that we don't have more foreigners coming to discover India," he said.
他预计，得益于经济的活力，商务旅行将持续增长。他说，旅游探访将会“爆发式增长”，增速将“非同寻常”。他提到“发达印度2047”愿景设定的约1亿游客目标，即十倍增长，并表示他相信这一目标可以实现。
He expects business travel to keep rising because of the economy's vibrancy. He said tourism visitation would "explode" and be "extraordinary in its growth". He pointed to the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision of about 100 million visitors, a tenfold rise, and said he believes it is possible.
凯悦目前在印度运营55家酒店。目标是在五年内增至250家以上，霍普拉马齐安表示，集团将在不牺牲品质的前提下实现这一扩张。精神旅游与国内游霍普拉马齐安表示，凯悦已在哈里德瓦尔和瑞诗凯诗设有酒店，明年将在普里开设新店。他还点名菩提伽耶作为精神旅游目的地。他说，这些古老的目的地将因新酒店的加入而得到更好的服务。他称精神旅游是探索和理解印度不可或缺的一部分。
Hyatt currently operates 55 hotels in India. It aims to grow to over 250 hotels within five years, which Hoplamazian said it would do without compromising on quality. Spiritual and domestic travelHoplamazian said Hyatt already has hotels in Haridwar and Rishikesh and will open one in Puri next year. He also named Bodh Gaya as a spiritual destination. These are ancient destinations that will be better served by new hotels, he said. He called spiritual travel an essential part of discovering and understanding India.
他说，国内游已大幅加速。年轻人进行更短、更频繁的出行，包括连续的周末短途游。印度去年记录了超过40亿人次的国内游览，他称这是一个“惊人的数字”。年轻人想看看自己的国家，他说。
He said domestic travel has accelerated dramatically. Younger people are taking shorter and more frequent trips, including serial weekend getaways. India recorded over 4 billion domestic visits last year, which he called a "staggering number". Young people want to see their own country, he said.
除了精神圣地，他还提到从喀拉拉邦的内陆水道到喜马拉雅山脉和避暑山地等自然目的地，都是进行户外活动的好去处。健康养生成最大趋势当被问及看到的单一最大趋势时，霍普拉马齐安表示是健康养生。
Beyond spiritual sites, he cited natural destinations, from the backwaters of Kerala to the Himalayas and mountain stations, as places for outdoor activities. Wellness as the biggest trendAsked to name the single biggest trend he sees, Hoplamazian said it is wellbeing.
他说，这是一个全球性趋势，但在印度的“表现形式比其他任何地方都多”。他说，世界变化如此之快，以至于产生了压力，有时甚至引发焦虑。因此，人们开始关注自身的健康福祉，这对于照顾他人和实现人生目标至关重要。
The trend is global, he said, but has "more expressions in India than anywhere else".He said the world is changing so fast that it creates stress and sometimes anxiety. People are therefore focusing on their own wellbeing, which is important for caring for others and fulfilling what they want to do in life.
他说，自从收购 Miraval 以来，凯悦已专注于健康福祉领域八九年。公司目前正在印度扩展其健康福祉业务。它还收购了总部位于亚洲、在印度拥有物业的 Alila 品牌。
Hyatt has focused on wellbeing for eight or nine years, since it acquired Miraval, he said. The company is now expanding its wellbeing activities across India. It also bought Alila, an Asia-based brand that has properties in India."
他说：“我们目前的计划是增加我们提供的产品数量，同时也增加在印度专门的健康福祉度假胜地的数量。”
Our plan right now is to expand the number of offerings that we have, but also the number of dedicated well-being retreats in India," he said.
霍普拉马齐安表示，印度拥有悠久的健康福祉实践历史。他说，凯悦在传承阿育吠陀实践传统的同时，引入了新的、不同的实践方式。
Hoplamazian said India has a rich history of wellbeing practices. Hyatt is bringing new and different practices while honouring the lineage of Ayurvedic practices, he said.
他补充说，印度年轻一代的收入在增长，并走出去探索世界。他说，他们的态度是发现什么对自己有意义，而不是追随父母的脚步。他说，凯悦不能依赖旧的行事手册，在接待印度客人时必须保持开放的心态。
He added that India's younger generation is growing its income and stepping out to explore the world. Their attitude, he said, is to discover what is fulfilling for them rather than follow their parents' footsteps. Hyatt cannot rely on the old playbook, he said, and must stay open-minded in approaching Indian guests.
