Turkey-azerbaijan boycott: Amid the increasing tension of India and Pakistan, Turki on international forums and openly supporting Pakistan on behalf of Azerbaijan have become a cause of sharp reaction in India. The Indian Tour and Travel Industry, angry with the Pakistan-supporting comments and stance of these two countries, has started the Boycott of Turki and Azerbaijan.

Many major travel agencies of the country have now stopped selling tour packages of these two countries. Along with this, the propagation of these destinations is also being stopped. On social media, have washtags like #boycotturkey and #Boycottazerbaijan are trending, in which both common citizens and industry experts are expressing their displeasure.

Statement of travel companies
MD Shailesh Patil of Kesari Travels said that Pahalgam attack is against humanity. India’s fight is the answer to the terrorist attack against humanity. Turki is doing wrong things by supporting Pakistan. Kesari Tour has banned Turkstan. After this, tourists will not go to Turkistan on behalf of Kesari. All bookings for Turki are closed. Turkey will not support Airlines to go to Europe. We have hundreds of tourists, but we will get inspiration to see other Indians to boycott Turkas from all sides.

Pakistan had to support him heavy
Founder Prashant Pitti of Make My Trip said that whenever Maldives took anti-India stance, the first Make My Trip refunded customers by canceling the hotel, flight to the Maldives in the national interest. Turki and Azerbaijan supported Pakistan’s terrorism, so we have issued an advisory saying that if not necessary, do not go. Nearly two to two and a half million tourists of India go to Turki and Azerbaijan, which will cause a loss of 3000 crores to both countries. There is an appeal to the people that you can see the option of a country like Greece, Armenia, Thailand in foreign travel.

Famous travel company did boycott
Rakesh Jain, managing director of the famous travel company ‘Holiday India’, said, “We keep the country before business. When a country stands against India or supports our enemies, we do not consider to send our tourists there. Travel firm ‘Dream Trips’ wrote on our social media handle,” The anti -India stance will be the price of Indian tourists. “

Fear of affecting tourism
Both Turki and Azerbaijan have been a popular destination for Indian tourists, especially the Turkas have been attracting thousands of Indian tourists every year due to their historical heritage and natural beauty. But now this boycott can affect the tourism industry of these countries. Experts believe that if this trend continues for a long time, then these countries may suffer major economic losses in the tourism sector. At the same time, Indian tourists can now turn to other options like Dubai, Maldives, Sri Lanka and Europe.

Indo-Pak tension diplomacy
This diplomatic echo of Indo-Pak tension has now reached the tourism sector. The growing nationalist atmosphere in India and the influence of social media has made it clear that foreign policy and tourism are no longer untouched by each other. In the coming days, it has to be seen to what extent this boycott is effective and how the concerned countries respond.
