Uttarakhand starts work to make Dehradun international airport starting with Kathmandu flights

While post covid domestic travel has staged new highs, international inbound is yet to recover fully. Foreign tourist arrivals (FTA) in 2019 were about 1.1 crore. In 2022 that figure was 62 lakh and last year it rose to 92.4 lakh. The industry is deliberating how to get FTAs not just back to 2019 levels but exceed the same. Increased direct international connectivity; more new tourism circuits and ease of visas have been the steps suggested by the industry to improve India’s FTAs.
