Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Indian travellers are increasingly opting for destinations like Armenia and Greece, seen as strategic allies, while distancing themselves from countries like Turkey and Azerbaijan, Organizer reports.
Acvording to the source, the attack in Pahalgam and India’s subsequent military response triggered a wave of public anger across the country. Turkey and Azerbaijan’s open support for Pakistan in the aftermath of the violence further fueled outrage among Indian citizens, leading to widespread calls for boycotting these nations, especially in the travel and tourism sectors.
As the boycott movement gained traction on social media and in public discourse, several major Indian travel gencies responded swiftly. Companies like Travomint, EaseMyTrip, and Cox & Kings announced the suspension of all travel packages to Turkey and Azerbaijan.
With Turkey and Azerbaijan off the list for many Indian travellers, destinations like Armenia and Greece, viewed as diplomatically neutral or supportive of India, are witnessing a rise in popularity.
