Asian Travel News Helps You Get the Best Rates

Indian airlines have been hit hard with the recent clamp down by the Indian government on Tourism and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the country. Following the order of the Central Reserve Bank of India (CRBI), all Indian overseas airports have now stopped accepting foreign currencies other than the Rupee. This has forced many airlines to scrap off their non rupee operated airfares and replace them with more affordable flights to China, South Korea, and Japan. This sudden change in attitude has left the Indians travelling abroad very confused, and even flight tickets booked for these destinations are hard to get.

So now, what is happening? The main reason cited for this sudden travel ban is the increasing number of “incidents” related to unsafe infrastructure, rising insecurity in the border areas between India and Pakistan, and drug and crime related crimes in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand. The problems in the tourism industry in these areas will not be fully resolved until the external environment is improved, but we can expect that they will be taken care of in time. For the time being, the affected areas will continue to receive flights from Delhi and other major cities till the problem is resolved completely. No tourist will want to travel through any other country besides India until this problem is resolved completely.

While all this was going on, I was having a wonderful time exploring the spectacular tourism destination of Arunachal Pradesh in the north-western part of India. Although, there are more than three hundred and sixty Indian states and union flags fluttering in the sky over here, I never felt like I was missing something. This was the best airport in the northern part of India, and it was evident that the tourism ministry has not only taken notice of this issue but also planned extensive improvements in the connectivity and amenities in the state.

So now, what should I do now? I need to get myself a cheap international flight to Sapporo in Hokkaido (the capital city of Japan). Since the railway network in Hokkaido was developed in recent times, getting between the two destinations is no more a problem. If you do not have much time to spare, then maybe you could also take some time out to visit the beautiful Japanese national park “Asteroid”. There, you can try trekking or maybe take up skiing if you are a winter sports enthusiast.
