Indians who believe in “Atithi Devo Bhava” are now angry. Amidst the increased tension between India and Pakistan after ‘Operation Sindoor’, Pakistan’s decision to openly support Turkey and Azerbaijan is costing heavily. Angry Indian tourists have started boycotting these two countries, putting their tourism industry at a standstill.
Heavy decline of up to 56%, economy shaken
The figures coming from the travel industry are surprising. In the last few months:
- Number of Indian tourists visiting Azerbaijan 56% There has been a huge decline.
- At the same time, the number of Indians going to Türkiye also increased. 33.3% A shortage of Rs. has been recorded.
This is not just statistics, but a big attack on the economy of these countries, because Indian tourists used to spend a lot of money in these places. The situation is such that even travel agencies have almost stopped selling tour packages and hotel bookings to Türkiye and Azerbaijan.
Booking cancelled, now Dubai and Bangkok are first choice
According to a famous travel app, ever since Türkiye and Azerbaijan have supported Pakistan:
- Indians for these countries 60% in booking There has been a decline.
- And the most surprising thing is that 250% in booking cancellation rate There has been a surge.
It is clear that Indians are now excluding these countries from their holiday list. Instead they now Dubai, Bangkok, and Sri Lanka Like they are choosing countries where they receive a warm welcome.
Why is this anger?
Travel experts believe that this boycott is an emotional reaction of Indians. When Türkiye and Azerbaijan supported Pakistan against India on the issue of terrorism, it hurt Indian tourists a lot. An analyst said, “This decision shows that Indians no longer just travel, they also look to see which country stands with their country.”
This incident is a big lesson for Türkiye and Azerbaijan about what the consequences of angering a large and sensitive market like India can be. This is not just a loss of tourism, but it can also have a negative impact on India’s trade relations with both the countries.
