Reviving tourism in post-pandemic India

The beleaguered tourism sector in India is showing initial signs of revival, but will this lead to complacency and trigger another wave of Covid infections?

The beleaguered tourism sector in India is showing initial signs of revival. The country鈥檚 peak travel season is just kicking off and, with the government easing restrictions on air travel, many holiday destinations are once again crowded. Foreign tourists could also be allowed in soon, after being kept away for more than a year-and-a-half.

But will this lead to complacency and trigger another wave of Covid infections? How will domestic and international tourists, and the industry, cope with new safety checks and guidelines? And is the industry expecting a rush of foreign tourists, or is it already too late for this season?

In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss how to revive tourism in post-pandemic India.
