Visa-free entry norms lure Indian tourists, spike in travel to Asian countries
Thursday, 14 December 2023 Demand for outbound foreign travel has increased due to the visa-free travel options offered by various Asian countries. The recent announcement of visa-free entry for Indians to Thailand has led to a 30% increase in demand compared to last year. Similarly, the visa-free entry to Malaysia from December 1 has been seen as a smart move to attract Indian travelers. Travel companies have also observed relaxed visa guidelines being issued by many countries in 2023.
Typhoon Yagi, Asia's most powerful storm this year, wreaked havoc across Vietnam, China, and the Philippines, claiming 45 lives and injuring hundreds.

Industrial areas suffered significant damage, and major infrastructure was disrupted. The storm, now downgraded to a tropical depression, continues to pose flood risks in affected regions.
