This would lead to increase in domestic travel and eventually contribute to the growth in the hospitality sector.
The e-Tourist Visa facility has been made available for citizens of 150 countries arriving at 16 airports in India. During 2015, more than 4,45,000 Visas on Arrival were issued as compared to 39,046 Visas on Arrival during 2014, which amounts to a growth of more than 1000%.
