“The COVID-19 pandemic had wreaked havoc around the globe. For the past two years, travel restrictions have had a negative impact on the travel and tourist industries”

However, as the number of people who have been vaccinated increases around the world, governments are loosening travel restrictions and gradually opening their borders, he said.
“India opened its borders last month, allowing fully vaccinated international travellers to enter the country,” he stated.
