Travel companies boycott Turkiye & Azerbaijan
NEW DELHI: Turkiye and Azerbaijan, hot favourites of holidaymakers, are fast falling out of favour after the two countries' steadfast support to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor and travel companies have stopped new bookings.
Hari Ganapathy, co-founder of Pickyourtrail, said, "We've made the decision to pause all new bookings to Turkiye and Azerbaijan. This is not a comment on the people, but a stance against policies that conflict with India's national interest."
Govind Gaur, CEO & founder of WanderOn said they have also stopped new bookings. "As for the existing bookings, Indians are saying they don't want to travel there and are asking for a refund," he said, adding that over 50% drop in bookings was expected from India to Azerbaijan and Turkiye.
