Indian Tourists Cancel Turkey and Azerbaijan Trips Amid Political Tensions

Following recent military actions by India across the Line of Control and subsequent supportive statements from Turkey and Azerbaijan towards Pakistan, Indian travelers have drastically reduced their bookings to these countries. Online travel platforms report a 60% drop in new bookings and a 250% spike in cancellations over the past two weeks.

A spokesperson from MakeMyTrip confirmed the significant shift, stating, “Indian travellers have expressed strong sentiments over the past one week, with bookings for Azerbaijan and Turkey decreasing by 60%, while cancellations have surged by 250% during the same period.”

This trend reflects the impact of geopolitical developments on international travel choices among Indian tourists.
