India Sends a Strong Message: Travel to Turkey and Azerbaijan Sees Sharp Decline
India appears to have dealt a significant blow to Turkey and Azerbaijan, with a sharp drop in travel bookings by Indian tourists. According to Turkish Airlines, nearly 50% of Indian travelers have canceled their trips to Turkey in the past six days alone.
Indian travel agencies have confirmed the trend, stating that all promotions and special offers for these two countries have been suspended in an effort to discourage tourism to the region.
The move reflects growing discontent among Indian travelers, though official reasons for the cancellations have not been formally disclosed. The development could have economic implications for the tourism sectors of both Turkey and Azerbaijan, which have seen increasing interest from Indian tourists in recent years.
