Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Menon said though China, India and Hong Kong's outbound business struggled last year, the travel business excluding Quess Corp will do better due to Kuoni acquisition in FY17. The company's forex and inbound businesses are largely doing well, which makes Menon expect this year's growth for the company to be on par with last year. He is of the view that the travelling company will remain invested in Quess from a long-term perspective. Don't miss: Credit Suisse bullish on ITC, free cash flow jumps in FY16
