New Travel Restrictions on COVID-19 Leave India’s Tourism Reeling

The Quint  

All within 24 hours, India barred the entry of foreigners for a little more than a month, it put on hold the visa-free facility granted to Overseas Citizen of India cardholders, it closed its border with neighbouring Myanmar and advised its citizens to avoid non-essential travel. Besides tightening travel restrictions, India has put in place mandatory screening for all travellers and compulsory 14-day quarantines if you’re from the worst hit countries, including Iran, Italy, China, South Korea, among others. As many sectors grapple with the cascading effect of coronavirus, there's one sector that's hit in the most obvious manner – tourism, and as a result, aviation and hospitality sectors. Remember, India’s tourism industry contributes nearly 10% of our GDP, and this chunk will take a hit.
