India is set to make travel significantly easier for Russian visitors with the introduction of a free 30-day e-tourist visa, which is expected to encourage more Russian travellers to visit India, reducing both cost and paperwork and a free 30-day group tourist visa, making it easier for travel agents and tour operators to bring Russian groups to India. The initiative is part of a broader effort to expand tourism and cultural engagement between the two countries at a time when Russia is seeking new travel partners, and India is diversifying inbound tourism markets.

Suman Billa, Additional Secretary & DG Tourism, GoI, revealed that the Ministry of Tourism will soon launch a revamped global promotion and marketing plan to strengthen inbound tourism. The strategy targets key source markets with focused promotions, collaborations with global brands and influencers, and enhanced synergy with states under the unified Incredible India brand, alongside a renewed push for MICE tourism.

TravTalk successfully hosted the first edition of its Think Tank — a closed-door roundtable titled ‘Reimagining Inbound India: Making India the Must-Do Destination for a Younger Global Traveller’ at the Le Meridien New Delhi. The focus was on brainstorming strategies for packaging India for the next generation of inbound visitors.
