New Delhi, October 12, 2021: Hospitality Industry heartily welcomes the government’s announcement on the restart of tourist visa issuance by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for international guests travelling to India starting October 15, 2021 (charter flights) and from November 15, 2021 for regular commercial flights.
This coupled with the earlier announcement of free visas for the first 5 Lakh inbound tourists, is a critical move that will give fillip and accelerate a much needed revival of inbound tourism – a sector that plays a critical role, with over 9% contribution to India’s GDP and USD 30 billion in net foreign exchange receipts; equally a force multiplier in terms of employment generation and skill development across allied sectors.
