Indian Association of Tour Operators (IATO) has expressed its sincere gratitude to the Government of India for the decision to resume regular international flight operations from 27th March 2022.
According to Rajiv Mehra, President, IATO, “Even though the decision was on the cards, still it is a big relief for the entire travel and tourism fraternity and we look forward to the revival of international tourism in the country. Further to enhance the foreign tourist flow to the country, we urge the government to restore all visas that were issued earlier but were suspended due to pandemic.”
“Besides we appeal to the government to resume multiple entry visa and e-Visa for the countries which have been barred particularly from the source markets like UK, Canada etc. We also request the Government to extend the validity of free Tourist Visa till 31st March 2024 without capping of 5 lakh free tourist visas,” said IATO President.
