Description

I’m at the annual World Travel Market in London’s ExCel centre - back in full swing for the first time since the pandemic - where I’m looking at how a red tape tangle has ruined thousands of holiday plans to India.Before the pandemic, the vast majority of UK visitors entered India on an eVisa – a relatively simple online system.But when the nation opened up to tourism in February 2022, and the eVisa system was restored for over 150 countries, travellers from the UK were excluded.Of course this podcast is free, much like my weekly newsletter, which you can find by signing up at https://www.independent.co.uk/newsletters Hosted on Acast.
