Maybe international flight starts from 31 July, then foreign tourists will also start coming.
More than 1.08 crore foreign tourists visited India in 2019. The government also earned more than Rs 2.10 lakh crore from this. In the same year, even before the outbreak of Coronavirus, the number of foreign tourists in India had increased in January, but it decreased in February and March.
International flights have been closed since 23 March in India and have been suspended till 31 July. International flights may begin after 31 July. If this happens, foreign tourists can also start coming.
However, the tourism sector alone has suffered more than Rs 80,000 crore so far due to the closure of international flights. Last year, in the 5 months of March to July, the government earned Rs 80 thousand 997 crore from foreign tourists.
Not only this, between January and March last year, the government earned Rs 52 thousand 232 crore from foreign tourists. Whereas, between January and March this year, the government could earn only Rs 44 thousand 396 crore. That is 7 thousand 836 crore rupees less than the previous time.
