Event Summary

Following Turkey and Azerbaijan's public support for Pakistan after India's Operation Sindoor, Indian traveler sentiment shifted dramatically, leading to a 42% decline in visa applications to Turkey and Azerbaijan. Data from the visa processing platform Atlys showed a 60% surge in users abandoning the application process midway within 36 hours. This decline was more pronounced in metro cities and among group travelers. In response, Atlys paused its marketing efforts for Turkey and Azerbaijan. As a result, alternative destinations such as Vietnam, Indonesia, and Egypt saw up to a 31% increase in visa applications from India. Educational institutions in India, including Jawaharlal Nehru, are also reconsidering or suspending collaborations with universities in Turkey.
