Bangladesh crisis hits India's tourism:
90% drop in Bangladeshi visitors
West Bengal, particularly Kolkata, has experienced a significant decline in tourist arrivals, especially from Bangladesh, due to political instability and visa restrictions following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina government, impacting businesses heavily.
1. Tourism Decline – The drop in Bangladeshi tourists has led to lower hotel occupancy, reduced footfall in tourist attractions, and declining business for travel agencies.
2. Economic Loss—Businesses in hospitality, retail, and healthcare have experienced financial setbacks due to the absence of Bangladeshi shoppers and patients.
3. Visa Restrictions – The Indian High Commission’s decision to limit visas for Bangladeshi tourists has directly affected bilateral travel and economic exchanges.
4. Retail Sector Impact – Kolkata’s shopping centers, which heavily rely on Bangladeshi buyers, have seen a significant decline in sales.
