Indian travel industry urges boycott of Turkiye & Azerbaijan over political stance

• Exclusive

The hashtag #BoycottTurkeyAzerbaijan gained momentum on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday evening, after reports surfaced that the foreign ministries of Turkiye and Azerbaijan had issued separate statements expressing solidarity with Pakistan. Both Turkiye and Azerbaijan have become increasingly popular among Indian travellers in recent years, mainly due to enhanced air connectivity, targeted promotions, and relaxed visa norms. However, this new turn of events has cast a shadow over their growing appeal in the Indian outbound tourism market.
