Some Cancel Travel Plans to India : Kathika Travel Website

After the recent attacks in Mumbai, some travelers are canceling their trips to India. In past 10 years or so, India has grown to be a very popular international travel destination for Americans. Last year, it was the 11th most visited internation destination by U.S. residents, surprisingly ahead of some vacation hot spots like Greece. However, now some people are having serious concerns about traveling to the area.

The Department of State has issued a travel alert for India following the recent attacks in Mumbai that left over 170 people dead. The 60-hour seige was carried out by 10 terrorists with reported ties to rival Pakistan. In addition to the death toll, over 300 people were wounded in India’s financial hub.

Though travel to India will probably bounce back and not be affected long-term, it’s difficult to assess how long that might take. With the events fresh on people’s minds, business travelers and vacationers alike are having second thoughts about travel.

As long as there is not a recurring problem in India, things should be back to normal for their travel industry within a matter of months. However, if the public feels the attacks weren’t handled properly or there is more trouble in the future, India could find itself having some difficulty. Source
