  "summary": "According to Thomas Cook India's Forex Report 2026, Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities together account for 53% of overall foreign exchange demand in India, surpassing the forex demand from Tier-1 cities, which make up 47%. The report attributes this trend to the growing popularity of leisure travel, which accounts for 57% of forex demand, followed by corporate travel at 27% and student travel at 16%. The surge in forex demand is also driven by a diverse range of travellers, with millennials and Gen X together constituting nearly three-fourths of forex usage.",
